A majestic award-winning high specification residence standing on secluded grounds of 0.96 Acres (stls), with spacious guest annexe and work from home office

What We Say at The Zoe Napier Group

This property really is a wonderful family home that has been refurbished to an incredibly high specification and from the moment you walk through the front door you can instantly see that an enormous amount of thought and planning that has gone into the works that have been carried out. Much of the original character that the property undoubtedly possesses has cleverly been blended with a more modern contemporary feel, whilst the close proximity to a range of sailing clubs and railway station offering good access into London will appeal to maritime enthusiasts and discerning commuters alike.

What the Owner Says

We have loved living here for the last eight years and have thoroughly enjoyed bringing the house back to life and we love entertaining, so we deliberately designed the grounds to create a perfect sanctuary for hosting family and friends. The detached guest annexe has been a huge bonus for us and has allowed us to have many family friends to come and stay with us from time to time without effecting our day to day lives, whilst our work from home office has been an invaluable space. It is time for a change for us and we have decided to relocate north of the border and allow another family enjoy this wonderful home.
