Description

The proposed new country house at Sandylands Park will have a sweeping in and out drive and will be entered from impressive entrance gates. Upon arrival one will be impressed the purity of the architecture and the facade of the house. When entering the house through the central entrance portico with a segmental pediment supported by Ionic columns and engaged pilasters, one will gain a sense of arrival and of home coming. The entrance hall is designed to have two ante rooms off it with 2 guest WC's and coat cupboard. Walking through to the inner double height staircase hall, one will look up to admire the spectacular domed glass roof lantern which will flood the staircase hall with light. A large set of double doors will lead you into the south west facing drawing room which will enjoy views across the formal gardens. The drawing room is linked to the study via a double set of doors, which itself also has direct access off the entrance hall , perfect for visiting business guests. The family room which has been split into interconnecting areas (although, if required these could be separated) is planned to encompass a sitting area, a dining area and a family kitchen of impeccable design and quality. The utility kitchen is located on the lower ground floor and services the family kitchen with a dumb waiter which is positioned in the servery - conveniently located between the family kitchen and formal dining room. Ceiling heights will surpass 3.4 metres throughout the ground floor.

The grand stair hall, with its sweeping staircase and domed glass roof, will provide access to the first floor accommodation. Walking into the principal bedroom you will immediately be drawn to the nine windows which span the suite and enjoy south westerly views over the gardens and down towards the lake and onwards over the tree tops of Windsor Great Park. The country views will provide the Principal with the feeling of utter escape and relaxation. The main bedroom sits at the centre of the suite and has a double dressing room for Her and large bathroom and a double dressing room and large bathroom for Him. Off his dressing room there is a linen store or panic room, with dual access from the suite and also back to the staircase. There are four further suites all with their own dressing rooms and bath/shower rooms on the first floor. Ceiling heights on the first floor will be 3.25 metres.

Walking gently down the large sweeping staircase to the lower ground floor and into the lobby, you will enjoy the view of the swimming hall through the glazed wall. A 20 metre swimming pool is flooded with natural light from six large skylights and two sunken garden courtyards. The spa includes a Jacuzzi, steam room, sauna, relaxation areas surrounding the pool and two changing rooms each with WC, shower and changing facilities. Both changing rooms have dual access from the swimming pool hall and from the corridor off the lobby. In addition there is a large gym.

The games room, impressive wine cellar and gun room are all located off the Lobby, whilst two guest suites are located overlooking a sunken garden courtyard which faces south west. Wide stairs lead from this gently up to the main gardens. Each suite has its own dressing area and large bathroom. The ceiling height is 4 metres throughout the lower ground floor.

On the other side of the house, the laundry, catering kitchen with dumb waiter to the servery above, stores and large staff apartment with two ensuite bedrooms and sitting room have independent access from the secure underground garage. There is parking for six large cars, and a chauffeur’s room will be fitted with WC, kitchen area and a lounge. In addition there is a wash down bay, and area for garden equipment and lawn mowers etc. In addition to the staff entrance, there is a Principal's entrance from the garage to the lobby - which has been carefully designed to give a sense of home coming with uplifting lighting and a high grade of specification and interior design. The oversized lift is located off the Lobby, and comes out to the ante room off the Entrance hall on the ground floor and in the first floor lobby.
