5 bed 6 bath Detached
Private plot with south-west garden and skyline views, ideal for large families.
Extensive 5,367 sq ft living space across two wings
Set on a very large plot overlooking greenbelt and distant London skyline, this 5-bedroom detached villa offers expansive, light-filled living across 5,367 sq ft. Ground-floor sliding doors connect nearly every reception room to terraces and a southwest-facing manicured lawn, creating effortless indoor–outdoor flow for family life and entertaining. The principal suite is a boutique retreat with two dressing areas and a private roof terrace; there are four further en-suite bedrooms, a gym, TV/cinema room and two kitchens.
The house is arranged in two wings that suit multigenerational or staff-and-family layouts, with a substantial driveway and double garage for multiple cars. Contemporary finishes, high ceilings and generous entertaining spaces are stand-out features. Nearby schools rated Good–Outstanding make the location attractive to families seeking space and facilities outside the dense town centre.
Buyers should note material facts: the property was constructed in the late 1960s–1970s and cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, which has energy and retrofit implications. Heating is primarily oil-fired with underfloor and electric components; fuel type and services should be checked. Council tax is high and local crime statistics are elevated for the area. While glazing was updated after 2002, some rooms and external elements may require ongoing maintenance or modernisation.
This villa will suit a family seeking privacy, generous accommodation and an entertainer's layout, or a buyer looking to create a bespoke country-style home near London. Its scale and plot offer clear potential for refurbishment or improvement works to increase comfort and long-term value, subject to planning and conservation considerations.
