History • Kenley House was originally commissioned in 1792 as a farmhouse set amongst 114 acres. The present stucco villa, with its handsome Italianate detailing on the façade and impressive rendered chimney stacks dates back to the early 19th century. The elegant three-storey, three bay centre piece is the shell of the aforementioned manor house. Kenley House • A hugely impressive country house of exceptional quality having been recently completely refurbished by Millgate Homes, which lead to the property winning the Evening Standard Luxury House of the year. The accommodation is ideal for modern family living and entertaining on a grand scale. The Property is set within manicured landscaped gardens in a securely gated and walled environment with a rural feel.
• The vast, elegant vaulted reception hall makes for awe-inspiring first impressions and leads to graciously proportioned reception rooms. High ceilings and large windows create light rooms, all of which enjoy views over the magnificent gardens. Double doors open through to the triple aspect drawing room with the same impressive proportions. Attention has been paid to every detail and incorporates modern technology with Crestron installed throughout.
• The striking kitchen offers a substantial open plan family and entertainment area, including a large central preparation island, marble tops, Gaggenau fridge freezer and wine cooler. This is open plan to the family room which boasts an impressive restored fireplace, and in turn leads through to the triple aspect orangery with doors to the terrace.
• The spacious and luxurious bedroom accommodation is arranged over two floors, with an impressive master suite with a vaulted ceiling, fitted dressing room, large gracious bathroom and private terrace. Three further bedroom suites are on the first floor. On the second floor two bedrooms (one en-suite), bathroom and media room lead off the large galleried landing, with a skylight giving large amounts of light to the first and ground floor.
