CLARENCE HOUSE

Clarence House is a luxuriously appointed substantial family home offering well proportioned and versatile living space over three floors.

The house is entered via a beautiful stone portico with Tuscan columns through an oversized front door leading into the spacious hexagonal galleried reception hall with wonderful stone flooring.

Off the entrance hall and accessed via double doors are all the principal reception rooms. There is an elegant double aspect drawing room with a feature fireplace and three sets of French doors opening to the paved sun terrace. Adjacent to the drawing room, with interconnecting doors, is the luxurious dining room which also benefits from French doors leading out into the garden. At the front of the house is the study/library fitted with Darren Jenner London bespoke joinery with an elegant brass inlay.

The real focal point and heart of the home is the impressive kitchen/breakfast/family room, this space has clearly been designed with modern family living in mind and offers a wonderfully open plan, yet compartmentalised space. There are bi folding and French doors leading to the garden and covered loggia area, giving a feeling of an outside living environment and a fabulous space for entertaining. The kitchen is by Darren Jenner London and is fitted with high quality Miele appliances throughout including an induction hob, a quooker hot water tap, two fridges, two freezers, two ovens, a steamer and a wine fridge. The family area has two stunning glazed wine display rooms which can each hold approximately 360 bottles. Between these two wine rooms are steps up the sitting room. The ground floor accommodation is completed by a guest cloakroom, a utility/boot room and a separate WC.

The sweeping curved marble staircase leads to the galleried first floor landing. The luxurious principal bedroom suite has a coffered ceiling, air conditioning, a sitting room with a feature remote controlled fireplace, French doors to a south facing balcony overlooking the gardens, two dressing rooms and two bath/shower rooms. There are three further bedroom suites on this floor all with dressing rooms and one with French doors to a balcony.

On the second floor there is a spacious landing with a mirrored ceiling lantern. Located on this floor is the fifth bedroom suite, a separate WC, a treatment room with an adjacent steam room and an amazing entertainment room. The entertainment room is an exciting space with a fitted bar, space for a games table, a cinema area and separate darts room. Accessed from the entertainment room is a sizeable roof terrace with lovely views looking over the gardens.

Separated from the house across the driveway is the handsome garaging with a well appointed, independent guest/staff apartment above. This wonderful annexe offers an open plan living room/bedroom, a kitchen and a shower room. It could also be ideal for a gym if required.

The garaging is for three cars and benefits from tiled flooring and heating. The garage block also incorporated a gardener’s WC. Planning permission was granted to link the garage to the house on both floors to create a walkthrough on the ground floor into the utility room and a connection to the principal bedroom suite on the first floor.

Clarence House sits in immaculately presented gardens and grounds of over 0.9 acres . The driveway and front garden offer a suitably impressive sense of arrival to the house. The rear garden comprises a large expanse of lawn with a paved terrace, mature borders, hedging, a variety of shrubs and trees and a brick wall surround providing seclusion and privacy.

A real feature of the garden is the outside covered kitchen with a retractable roof for all weather entertaining incorporating a barbecue, fridge and sink. To the rear of the garden there is a detached summer house, two store rooms, a potting shed, a log store and garden tool shed. There is also a useful large storage area behind the triple garage.
