The Property
This charming family home is approached off Coombe Lane West, via a shared access with one other house but down a private block paved drive flanked by mature plants, to high wrought iron gates supported by tall brick pillars and stone finials, which open into a large paved forecourt. The front garden offers a large lawned area, mature bushes and perennials, a concealed outhouse great for garden furniture, bicycles and a workshop with ample space for the wheelie bins. The box hedge with the dwarf wall and further stone finials wrap around to the side garden leading to a sunny terrace and eventually to the rear garden.
The property is great for entertaining, with so much space for guest parking and a secluded garden as a further play area. A stone arched portico leads to the six-panel door with a glazed surround, to a wonderful marble tiled entrance hall boasting a sweeping staircase with a wooden handrail and spindles with a 5.5m ceiling height. Bespoke designed encased radiators are found throughout the house, with oak herringbone wood flooring to the principal reception rooms, and bamboo wood strip flooring to the family room off the kitchen.
The formal drawing room, with a maximum height of 3.76m down to 2.69m, enjoys a double aspect with two pairs of French doors to the side terrace and a bay window to the front garden. The room is beautifully finished with ornate coving as with the rest of the house. The formal dining room, conveniently accessible from the kitchen, features quarter-panelled walls, with views to the front garden. The study offers a wealth of bespoke built-in bookcases with base cupboards and delightful westerly views over the side garden. Both the formal drawing room and family room feature hand-carved marble fireplaces with gas fire for the family room and real fire for the drawing room.
Another wonderful feature of the house is the combined open-plan kitchen/dining/family room, with a wall of bespoke designed bookcases and base cupboards with French doors onto the rear garden and terrace. The shaker-style wall and base units are complimented by the granite worksurfaces and a wealth of built-in kitchen appliances, and glazed display cabinets to the dining area. In addition to the kitchen units is a pantry, also with a granite perimeter shelf and large laundry room with a double sink and drainer, and space and plumbing for American-style washing machine and tumble dryer. The laundry room offers access to the double garage, with built in cupboards concealing the plant equipment and access to the side garden. The kitchen/breakfast/family room benefits from underfloor heating as well as quality timber framed double casement windows and French externals doors.
The sweeping staircase leads to a spacious landing with views to the front garden. The principal bedroom offers uninterrupted southerly views of the New Malden golf course, with a large walk-in dressing room offering an abundance of shelving and hanging space, and a large en suite bathroom with a walk-in shower, large mosaic panelled bath, two oval wash hand basins inset into marble surfaces and base cupboards with mirrored medicine cupboards and heated towel rails and a low level WC.
There are two other bedrooms with en suite facilities and two further bedrooms with a family bathroom, all with built-in cupboards and views of the front and rear gardens. No expense has been spared in the build of this fine family home.
