Property description & features
Roundwood is an exquisite Victorian residence, dating back to the 1870s, featuring elegant late-Georgian design. With its grand double-fronted façade, pillared entrance, and tall sash windows, this home embodies a timeless grandeur.
Roundwood exudes the warmth and charm of a country estate, enjoyed by generations. This rare and private home offers two storeys of refined living space, with four principal reception rooms and nine bedrooms on the first floor. The adaptable layout offers potential for a ground floor annexe or the creation of bedroom suites, while the substantial attic provides further possibilities, subject to planning.
Every detail of Roundwood has been lovingly maintained to preserve its period charm. The house boasts high ceilings, ornamental cornicing, intricate plasterwork, and original carved fireplaces throughout. Entering through a grand front door, you’re welcomed into an impressive reception hall with a beautiful period staircase leading to a galleried landing, lit by a stunning roof lantern.
The principal reception rooms, bathed in southern light, are perfect for entertaining or relaxed family living. The drawing room, with its floor-to-ceiling bay windows, provides sweeping views of the gardens. The adjacent library is a formal space with oak panelled walls, a herringbone floor, and an open fireplace, reflecting the house’s history. The family room is bright and spacious with double-aspect views and French doors opening to the sun terrace. Meanwhile, the dining room offers a refined setting for both casual and formal dining, with display cabinets and fitted alcoves creating an elegant backdrop.
The kitchen is a bright, airy space with bespoke cabinetry, a central island, and views over the front of the property. Fitted with integrated appliances and granite worktops, there’s also space for a breakfast table. Adjacent is an office with fitted cupboards and a lockable wine store, leading to the informal areas of the house, including a second staircase and rear entrance.
Upstairs, the sweeping staircase leads to a half landing, branching off to five bedrooms and two bathrooms. The upper landing, featuring a central roof lantern, offers attic access and leads to four generously sized bedrooms. The master suite, with its L-shaped design, boasts stunning views over the grounds and woodland, extensive wardrobes, and an en-suite bathroom. A guest bedroom with en-suite, two further double bedrooms, all with fitted wardrobes and period fireplaces, complete the accommodation.
Set within expansive and secluded grounds, Roundwood is approached via wrought iron gates leading to a sweeping driveway. The grounds include pretty woodland with meandering pathways, colourful shrubberies, and formal gardens with extensive lawns and a pergola draped in wisteria. The raised sun terrace is ideal for summer entertaining, framed by the house’s grand façade adorned with lilac and white wisteria.
