The beautifully-designed 8-bed contemporary home sits within around 10 acres on the edge of Burnham Beeches, an area of woodland much-loved by nature enthusiasts. This property has been designed to complement its location and the emphasis from the entrance hall is on light and space, simplicity with elegance and, above all, convenient living.
The main ground floor living space is vast open-plan living, complete with a double-height space for the kitchen, dining and lounging area. All is basking in the wash of nature and light from the full-length windows and seems perfectly suited for casual entertaining.
The kitchen is neat yet full of all the latest modern appliances, with plenty of space for food preparation and the gathering of hungry guests.
For more formal dining – especially with guests you want to impress – there is the ‘floating’ dining room, encased in glass and almost floating on water as it juts out of the main house.
After-dinner drinks can be taken at the ‘private Members’ club’. This glorious feature feel exclusive and opulent; it’s sure to delight and entrance your guests.
For a more family-friendly evening of entertainment, the home cinema room makes for a well-designed and very comfortable place to curl up with a favourite film. Once again, this space is tucked away, courtesy of clever internal architecture design.
There is also a pool table and a cigar room, making this property well-suited to an owner who enjoys entertaining over long evenings. There are also multiple living rooms, in addition to the main open-plan areas, which allows for family members to have their privacy too, as required.
Climb up the beautiful core staircase to find the principal bedroom suite alongside five further double bedroom suites, all of which are spacious and washed with the light and greenery of the grounds.
Their attached bathrooms are well-equipped and feature the expected luxury of a standalone bath with a superb view. There are, of course, showers for those moments when a quicker wash is preferred.
This house is incredibly well designed for those expecting to work from home, with a large study and a double height library with plenty of storage and display facilities.
While windows let the light wash in, large terraces across both levels of the main house allow for residents to spill out and enjoy the natural surroundings.
The grounds are a real feature of this eye-catching property, with a Chelsea award-winning designed garden featuring a reflective pond. There is also space for garaging multiple vehicles and a separate 2-bed lodge that can serve as staff accommodation or to house guests.
The grounds also house the sports complex where an elegant swimming pool and sauna are joined by a spacious home gym, ideal for those who like to work-out without having to leave the house. There is also a tennis-court in the garden – your Wimbledon inspiration can find an outlet!
The grounds offer wonderful privacy and views across to Windsor Castle, as well as towards Burnham Beeches itself. The house is close to Burnham village, a pretty place that has plenty of local shops and pubs and a weekly market. Half a mile from the village is the station, which provides connections to London. The property is within easy reach of the M40 or M4 and Heathrow Airport is just 12 miles away.
