Luxurious and Private 5-Bedroom Family Home with Exceptional Features
Nestled on a secluded and expansive plot, this striking mid-century home was originally designed in 1969 by an architect for his own family, and today it stands as a unique blend of architectural pedigree, contemporary style, and modern comfort. Having undergone a meticulous eight-year renovation by the current owners, the property has been extensively refurbished inside and out, offering a home that balances elegance functionality.
Set back from the road via a long private driveway, the property enjoys both exclusivity and tranquility while remaining just a short walk from Reedham Station, with direct access into London. It also falls within the catchment of the outstanding Beaumont Primary School, making it a perfect choice for families. Centrally positioned on its large mature plot, the house is surrounded by abundant wildlife and enjoys picturesque garden views from every room. Outside, a spacious rear patio forms a private suntrap naturally sheltered by the house and hillside, while a second terrace off the lounge captures sweeping valley views.
The interiors are defined by light and flow, thanks to a combination of double-aspect and floor-to-ceiling windows. The entrance hall is bright and welcoming, with a generous walk-in cloakroom. The kitchen and dining area—once three separate rooms—have been transformed into a striking open-plan space with quartz countertops, a large central island, natural grey limestone flooring, and statement pendant lighting. The lounge is semi-open plan, creating an inviting environment for entertaining. Five double-aspect bedrooms, including a master suite with far-reaching views and a luxurious en-suite featuring a Fantini Aquatonica shower, offer flexible family living. The family bathroom provides a further touch of luxury with a Norman Foster–designed Hoesch bath, while a versatile fifth bedroom serves perfectly as an office. A double garage with remote-operated roller shutters completes the picture.
Recent works have been extensive, with updates including a brand-new block-paved driveway (2024), replastered and redecorated bedrooms and hallways, new carpets, doors, and lighting, and fully retiled and refitted bathrooms (all in 2025). The house also benefits from a new boiler (2022), updated electrics, fibreboard cladding designed for low maintenance, and full-fibre broadband.
