8 bedroom detached for sale

Situated on the most exclusive road in Chigwell, is this striking home built to exacting specifications which combines generous proportions with family comfort.

This discreetly located house is entered through wrought iron electric gates onto a sweeping resin bound driveway with granite kerbs. The substantial front garden has mainly laid lawn with a fountain as its focal point. An extensive triple garage provides parking for several cars. In addition, there is parking for comfortably over 20 cars in the covered area behind the garages and on the driveway.

To the rear, there are beautiful south-facing landscaped gardens designed to offer both privacy and tranquillity with mature planting and sweeping views. The rear garden includes two separate water features, several entertaining areas, porcelain-tiled terraces, a summer house with kitchen and bar together with a large, separate decked area. There is also a cosy seating area with a fire pit perfect for autumn evenings. To the rear of the garden is a tennis court hidden away. This circa 4-acre plot provides total seclusion.

Beyond the imposing exterior, lies a sophisticated and luxurious interior where craftsmanship, technology and comfort seamlessly combine. Upon entering the house through the 2.4m high double doors you are greeted by a grand bespoke, walnut staircase and galleried entrance hall being a perfect setting to welcome guests. This leads to formal and family areas of the home. In addition to the lounge with library, wine room, formal dining and study there is also a huge family room with bespoke fitted kitchen, breakfast bar, family dining and relaxing areas. Further there is a tv room and separate fully equipped informal kitchen with breakfast bar. The spa complex, including a swimming pool, jacuzzi, sauna, steam room and treatment room, is also located on the ground floor.

A beautifully lit walnut staircase leads down to the entertainment area, which features a full-size snooker table, areas for relaxing and games, a bar and guest cloakroom. Beyond the games room, through a secret revolving door, is an impressive cinema room with panelled walls and luxury seating. On the first floor, you will find a fully fitted gym with shower facilities.

This magnificent property boasts six-bedroom suites in the main house, with the master suite featuring 'his and hers' dressing rooms and ensuites. A wonderful feature of the master suite is the balcony which overlooks the beautifully landscaped gardens. Throughout the home, there are areas for the family to relax to include a pyjama/coffee area overlooking the galleried staircase on the first floor. A further lounge suite on the top floor creates a perfect self-contained area for teenagers or grandparents seeking privacy. The house also benefits from a secondary staircase to the first floor and a lift.
Above the triple garage, a generous two-bedroom flat with lounge, separate kitchen area, and bathroom provides ideal accommodation for staff or guests.

The entire home is equipped with smart home features to include a Loxone lighting and home automation system, allowing seamless control of lighting, security, and entertainment from your phone.
