7 bed detached house for sale

Coombe Park, Kingston Hill KT2

A truly exceptional property. Set behind impressive iron gates and approached down a long, beautifully landscaped drive – the Birches is set in its own secluded grounds. The house was built in the late 1930’s for a Hollywood producer with corresponding romantic touches like turrets and beautiful stone carved fireplaces. The entrance hall spans the width of the house – with limed oak panelling throughout. The Drawing Room is generously proportioned with a contiguous garden room and French doors leading out to the rolling lawns and gardens. There are 2 studies on the ground floor – one with a lovely stone fireplace, a large kitchen with a breakfast area as well as a separate formal dining room. There is an adjacent swimming pool complex with a sauna and a changing room with plenty of room to install a gym.
Upstairs is a substantial principal bedroom with a charming turret overlooking the gardens and a luxurious en suite bathroom and a dressing room. There are also 4 good sized bedrooms and 3 bathrooms on this floor.
The second floor comprises 2 large bedrooms, a bathroom and a large loft room and extensive storage areas.
The grounds at the Birches are some of the finest we’ve seen in Coombe. The house sits in an elevated position within its own land with vast lawn areas, a substantial decorative pond, a stone fountain, green houses, kennels and some quite special mature trees including a very beautiful Mulberry. Additionally, the property boasts roses, wisterias and spectacular vista views and perimeter walkways.
Location: Set just outside the main gates of Coombe Park off Kingston Hill -a short walk to the 2,360 acres of Royal Richmond Park. In close proximity to several excellent state and independent schools within 9 miles of Central London.
