Waldhein captures a wonderful southerly and westerly aspect at the rear and is a substantial, Victorian, detached country home of great presence, in a prime position within one of the most sought-after villages in Surrey. Set at the head of a long private driveway, the property sits well in its secluded setting surrounded by over three acres of mature gardens and perfectly positioned to capture extended views over Marden Park and beyond with glimpses of the Wembley Arch on a clear day. Originally designed and constructed in the early 1890s for Frederick Bayles - whose descendants retained the property until 1970 – hailing from a well-to-do merchant family relocating from London. With links to extended family in Germany, Mr Bayles named the house after a town in Saxony in honour of his wife’s heritage. Today, the property retains its Victorian grandeur, displaying many distinctive late nineteenth century architectural feautues. Exteriors, are a handsome blend of whitened render and tile hanging, under a pitched tiled roof with tall chimneys stacks, a hexagonal turret feature along with an original covered veranda, whilst featuring sash windows, some with coloured glass inserts. Internally there are high ceilings and much period detailing in evidence. There are fireplaces of various styles including marble or carved surrounds and cast iron, with typically Victorian tiled inserts, deep skirting boards and internal panelled doors. The extensive accommodation is arranged over four floors extends to some 5,000 sq ft and includes a lower ground floor which could be formed into a dependant relative or staff apartment. The primary reception rooms are characterful, each with access to the veranda and to one side is a conservatory. The current owners have created a large, sociable living room/kitchen/breakfast space in a contemporary style, by extending and rearranging one side of the house. This also allows for an additional covered terrace which is a wonderful place for outdoor entertaining and for taking in the views. Approached via an imposing staircase, in total there are six bedrooms in the main house, each with its own charm and character. A guest suite has an en-suite bathroom, with the other four, first floor bedrooms served by two bathrooms, one bath– intriguingly – contained within a mahogany surround with original taps and waste and one of the bedrooms having access to a private balcony. On the second floor is ample loft and eaves storage together with a further bedroom and shower room.
