Description
An exceptional and highly versatile Dover Road residence extending to approximately 8,400 sq. ft., with four bedrooms, extensive living accommodation, private indoor pool and leisure complex, integral garage and substantial showroom space.
A truly exceptional and highly versatile property extending to approximately 8,418 sq. ft. of internal accommodation, arranged
across three substantial floors and combining impressive residential living, private leisure facilities, extensive garaging and
dedicated showroom space.
Built in 2011 and individually designed by the current owners, the property occupies a generous plot of just under one acre on a
quiet private road. The setting offers a strong sense of privacy, together with ample off?road parking for several vehicles and the
added convenience of an electric vehicle charging point.
The first floor forms the principal living accommodation and has been thoughtfully designed around entertaining, family life and
flexibility. A generous open?plan kitchen, dining and living space provides the natural heart of the home, complemented by a
separate lounge and an impressive formal living room with feature fireplace. Each room offers excellent proportions, while a broad
balcony creates an appealing connection to the outside and provides additional space for relaxation and entertaining. A useful
cloakroom, storage and spacious central landing complete this level.
The upper floor provides an outstanding bedroom arrangement, with four substantial double bedrooms. The principal suite is
particularly impressive, featuring a large walk?in wardrobe and direct access onto its own private balcony. Further bedrooms also
benefit from walk?in dressing areas, balcony access and en?suite facilities, creating a layout ideally suited to family living or
accommodating guests. In total, the accommodation includes two en?suite shower rooms, a luxurious family bathroom and multiple
dressing areas, delivering an excellent level of comfort and privacy throughout.
The ground floor is where this property becomes genuinely unique. Alongside an integral garage, utility room, plant rooms and
extensive storage, the property incorporates a superb private leisure complex. This includes a large indoor swimming pool, dedicated
gymnasium, sauna, shower facilities and a lounge area, creating a private wellness environment rarely found within a home of this
scale.
There are also two sizeable showroom spaces, together with a further showroom and store area with supporting facilities. These
spaces provide considerable flexibility for a buyer seeking an impressive work?from?home environment, studio, display area, vehicle
collection space, business premises or a combination of residential and commercial use, subject to any necessary consents.
Externally, the rear garden has been designed to offer a variety of practical and attractive spaces while remaining relatively low
maintenance. A choice of terraces provides areas for outdoor dining and entertaining, while shaded seating areas offer more
secluded places to relax. The garden also includes useful garden rooms, which could be utilised for storage, hobbies or as additional
home office space.
The property further benefits from a number of energy?efficient features, including solar panels and an air source heat pump, helping
to complement the scale and modern design of the home.#
With its immense proportions, individual architecture, adaptable layout and exceptional blend of residential, leisure, garaging and
showroom accommodation, this is a rare Dover Road opportunity offering remarkable flexibility and potential for a wide range of
purchasers.
