The Property Set on a private road, opposite a small wood leading onto a glorious open common, Spring House enjoys a semi-rural location, yet is just a half hour train ride from the heart of London. Built in 2012, the house benefits from a full array of environmental technologies to create an energy-efficient modern family home. Understated and elegant from the front, the house opens out into the quintessential family home. With rooms carefully arranged around an impressive central hallway, all needs of a growing family have been taken into consideration. Designed with renowned architect David Kirkland and built by the current owners, the house is a highly successful mix of country style with the luxuries of modern building techniques. The traditional front of the house is complemented by the entire wall of glass at the rear with vast, fully retractable sliding doors, enabling the interior space to flow onto the large courtyard patio and gardens. The main area of the ground floor comprises a large handmade and hand painted open plan kitchen diner and a sitting/ dining room with marble fireplace and Jetmaster open fire. A guest wing to one side has two bedrooms sharing a bathroom with exquisite quartz sink top and a light, airy study overlooking the beautiful garden. A mirror wing on the other side of the house holds a housekeeper’s suite, utility room, downstairs cloakroom and a large, airy playroom opening onto the garden. This wing is also served by a separate, side door and has a whole corridor of coat/boot storage, perfect for a growing family. Upstairs there is a large master bedroom with extensive fitted wardrobes, dressing room and an en suite marble bathroom. Three further generous family bedrooms are all served by another large, light bathroom. A wide, elegant, handcrafted staircase with smooth walnut banister curls through all three floors of the house adding to the feeling of airiness and gracious living. On the lower ground floor, there is an enormous games room and a large home office, each flooded with natural light from the glass floors above. There is also a large shower room, second utility room, a plant room and a number of storage rooms.

A large central courtyard in Indian sandstone is flanked by the wings of the property and is complemented by an oak pergola, covered in wisteria, roses and vines. Beyond, the large, south-west facing garden is mainly laid to level lawn, providing convenience for families. This is further enhanced by fully established flower beds and local variety fruit trees. Both hot and cold water taps are installed throughout the grounds. A further seating area is positioned to fully enjoy the sylvan setting of Spring House. Additionally, there are two sheds, both with power and light. SPRING HOUSE
