built in 2001 with remarkable attention to detail, this substantial house offers more than 8,700 square feet of thoughtfully planned accommodation set over three floors.
the approach, through a double set of electric gates, gives an immediate sense of privacy. inside, a broad and beautifully lit reception hall opens the scene, finished with oak flooring and high ceilings that give the house an elegant, measured scale. from here, each of the principal rooms unfolds with purpose and symmetry.
the dining room lies beyond a pair of double doors, a wonderfully bright space with french doors opening onto the rear terrace. across the hall, the sitting room is arranged around a marble fireplace and tall windows that draw in views of the garden. mirrored panelling reflects the light and conceals a discreet entrance to the study, where bespoke walnut cabinetry creates a calm working environment with garden access. a further reception room at the front, currently used as an office with a reclaimed gas fireplace and stained oak shelving, offers flexibility as a playroom or snug.
at the centre of the house is the kitchen, dining and family room. designed as a single, generous space, it has a roof lantern overhead and two sets of french doors that bring in natural light throughout the day. wooden cabinetry and taupe worktops frame a vast island with a circular breakfast bar, accompanied by a full suite of integrated appliances. the remaining space is arranged for everyday dining and relaxed family living, complete with a gas fire set into a contemporary media wall. underfloor heating runs beneath large porcelain tiles, and integrated speakers continue into the principal rooms. a utility room with access to the garages and a cloakroom complete this level.
a second staircase leads to the games room above the garage. this versatile suite includes a kitchenette, shower room and generous eaves storage, giving scope for use as a cinema, playroom or studio.
the first-floor landing has a window seat overlooking the front garden. the principal bedroom suite feels exceptionally private, with french doors to a balcony and two dressing rooms leading to separate en suite bathrooms, each with walk-in showers and underfloor heating. air conditioning is installed here. two further en suite bedrooms and a laundry room sit on this floor.
the top level offers a large playroom with walnut flooring and three additional bedrooms that share a family bathroom. a self-contained annexe, accessed externally, provides a further bedroom, bathroom and fully fitted kitchen, ideal for guests or staff.
the garden extends to more than 0.6 acres and forms a beautiful backdrop to the house. a wide terrace wraps around the rear, creating an easy flow for al fresco dining and entertaining. beyond the lawn, planting and mature trees give structure and privacy, while a dedicated play area and vegetable patch with greenhouse add to the family-friendly feel. at the far end is a 16m pool and an impressive pool house with bi-fold doors, a gym area, shower and wc.
to the front, a large carriage driveway provides extensive parking and leads to three garages. established planting frames the frontage with colour throughout the year.
new road is one of esher’s most sought-after private addresses, just half a mile from the high street with its boutiques, cafés, restaurants and everyman cinema. esher and claygate stations are close by, with fast services to london waterloo. the area is well known for its outstanding selection of state and independent schools, along with green spaces including claremont landscape garden, bushy park and richmond park. sandown racecourse, hampton court palace and further amenities in kingston and guildford are also within easy reach.
