ST. JAMES’S SQUARE

Entering the house via the front door, you are immediately struck by the quality. The hallway has a completely restored stone floor with attractive black diamond patterned stone inserts leading to a wonderful cantilevered stone staircase. Both the front and inner hall doors have fine fanlight glazed sections which are classic to Georgian houses of this quality.

To the left side of the hall is a dining room with views across the garden Square. Bespoke fitted shelving and cupboards flank the delightful marble fireplace with living flame fire. Farrow and Ball wallpaper completes the design of this fine room. To the garden side is a cosy study which, again, has a charming marble fireplace and living flame fire as well as bespoke fitted bookshelves. It looks out across the garden and approach golf course beyond. On from the hall is a delightful garden room with double doors opening to the garden.

A doorway leads you down to the kitchen level which has been incredibly well thought through. There is a luxuriously appointed bedroom suite with its own shower room and a window over the courtyard.

To the front of the house is the most wonderful kitchen. It has been designed to perfectly mix with the tradition of the house and still in pride of place is the original dresser. A central island provides the heart of the kitchen and has a range of high end appliances and an AGA. The kitchen leads through to two vaults, one of which is a superb laundry room and the adjoining boot room provides excellent storage.

A door leads down to the lower level, where the stonework has been attractively restored. There is a main room, used as gym by our clients. This leads via a glass door to a further vault with individual wine bins to either side. To the back of the hall is the engine room of the house with twin Worcester Bosch boilers, a large pressurised water cylinder and water softener.

At first floor level is the most delightful drawing room and withdrawing room. The views to the west across the Approach Golf Course give you a great sense of light and space. The room has matching period marble fireplaces, exquisite cornicing and both original central cornice roses are in place. In addition, there is a cloakroom and a fitted bar.

The second floor of the house provides the principal bedroom, a beautifully fitted dressing room and a bathroom of the finest quality. The bath sits in the middle of the room so that you can enjoy the wonderful views to the west. There is a separate glazed shower and a delightful bespoke double basin vanity unit with integral mirror and cupboards beneath. On the half landing is an extra wc and basin. On the top floor are three bedrooms and another superb bathroom.

Externally

The rear gardens have been designed with great care and attention. Paved flagstones combine with herringbone brick pathways which are flanked by topiary box hedging and an array of herbaceous plants. Near to the house on both sides there are six pleached hornbeams, creating form and privacy. At the far end on the left is a Grande Flora Magnolia and a door leads out to Cavendish Road. To the front of the house a new staircase leads down to the front courtyard, which has its own lighting and access into the property.
