A substantial six-bedroom detached home set on a large, professionally landscaped plot in sought-after Yarnells Hill. The house combines traditional period detail—high ceilings, ornate plasterwork, arched windows and classic brickwork—with generous contemporary living spaces including a modern kitchen/breakfast room and a conservatory that brings the garden in. Multiple reception rooms and bedrooms provide flexibility for formal entertaining, family life and home working.
For leisure and entertaining the property offers an exceptional on-site complex: an indoor swimming pool with tall windows and French doors, a steam room, sauna and hot tub, plus a dedicated games/snooker room with bespoke joinery. The grounds include terraces, an elevated balcony with wide views, a sweeping gravel driveway and double garage, delivering privacy and strong kerb appeal on a private no-through road.
Buyers should note practical and running-cost considerations. The house dates from before 1900 and has solid brick walls with assumed no cavity insulation, which could affect energy performance. Broadband speeds are reported slow despite excellent mobile signal. Council tax is described as quite expensive. These are material points for long-term running costs and potential retrofit investment.
This property will suit families or buyers seeking a substantial, character-filled home with significant leisure accommodation and large gardens. There is clear scope to update certain technical elements (insulation, services and broadband) while enjoying immediate lifestyle benefits from the elegant interiors and exceptional outdoor space and views.
