Description

As our clients sole agent we are extremely proud to bring Sudbrook Gate to the market for the first time in 42 years, representing a rare opportunity indeed to acquire what is a very special and individual home within this idyllic semi-rural backwater just 9 miles from the centre of London.

Laterally configured over just two floors this exquisite home offers well balanced and generously proportioned accommodation that totals in excess of 4100 square feet, providing equally well for both family life and more formal entertaining.

Originally built in the 1920's the property has been creatively extended and re-modelled. To the side of the house there is a wonderful two storey studio that has its own entrance as well as direct access into the main house. This space is currently being used as an artists studio but could readily adapt to become additional accommodation for live in relatives and/or staff if so required, thus lending the house perfectly to generational living.

Tastefully renovated in 2020 without compromise features of particular note include the exquisite Tom Howley Kitchen, beautifully appointed bathrooms and a sophisticated Chubb security system.

The fabulous open aspects afford an excellent flow of natural light and take in the stunning open acres of Richmond Golf Course and Richmond Park.

The beautifully established gardens are simply stunning and afford an excellent degree of privacy, with an abundance of varied plants and shrubs. There is also both night lighting and irrigation systems. The patio courtyard that is accessed from the drawing room has an electronic canopy and is an ideal spot for alfresco entertaining. Whilst to the front of the house there is secure gated parking for several cars.

In summary there is a real depth of quality and thought that has gone into the re-design and renovation of this fine home, which has a special and homely atmosphere.
