The Brow is an exceptionally well-presented Arts & Crafts property built circa 1908, located on the brow, hence the name, of Grimms Hill and surrounded by beautifully landscaped organic gardens of about three quarters of an acre. The Edwardian property is one of only seven houses, of which just six remain, which were developed by Alfred Dunhill (founder of the luxury goods and tobacco business) in the early 20th century. In the 2000s, a detached studio was incorporated into the main house as part of an extension, and more recently the house has been extensively modernised to a very high standard inside and out. Despite this, much of the original character has been well preserved, from the tile-hung and roughcast elevations, traditional panelled doors, period stone and tiled fireplaces, and planked wood and parquet floors, which are beautifully complemented by a striking décor scheme. The kitchen in particular is a real wow-factor space and is perfect for entertaining. Outside there is extensive parking and storage, with the secluded garden providing abundant kitchen gardens, mature trees, expansive lawns and attractive planting, plus a ‘party barn’ for alfresco dining through the year.
A full and thorough renovation over the years has sympathetically modernised the house, providing light-filled, airy and well balanced accommodation over two floors which is particularly suited to family life and entertaining at home. Three generous reception rooms provide ample space for the demands of family life, including a fabulous triple aspect double height drawing room, a separate sitting room and a playroom, all of which have original fireplaces. Providing a space for relaxed entertaining as well as day to day living, the open plan kitchen and dining room serves as the heart of the home and is a stunning room, featuring a commercial grade Wolf stainless steel range with gas burners, a walk-in pantry, Sub-Zero refrigeration, extensive handcrafted customised cabinetry and a dining area to easily accommodate 12 guests. In addition there is a utility and laundry room, a bespoke fitted boot room and a cloakroom with WC.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom is a wonderfully romantic space at the front of the house, with windows on three sides and floor-to-ceiling hand painted wallpaper adorning the high, pitched ceiling. There is an attached dressing room and an en suite bath and shower room designed with twin vanity units and a traditional wood-panelled bath. The four remaining bedrooms (one en suite) are all double size, and there is a further family bathroom.
