Contemporary elegance in a breathtaking setting. Equally enviable for equestrians and those searching for the tranquillity of country residence, Sheets Heath Farm sits within circa 5 acres of gated grounds and paddocks. Unfolding over a magnificent 8182sq ft that includes a stable block, studio, cinema and music rooms, study and self-contained annexe, it is blissfully hidden away from the world yet still within a stroll from a mainline station.

Description
Tucked discreetly back from the leafy environs of Brunswick Road, secure electric gates open to reveal an impeccable gravel driveway framed by capacious lawns. Wrapped with the statuesque form of abundant trees, these breathtakingly idyllic grounds of circa 5 acres give an instant sense of the privacy and tranquillity on offer. Sweeping you down past the enclosed courtyard stable block with its clock tower and modern studio, its culminating curve takes you to the immense canopied entrance and discerning architecture of the main residence.

Leaded windows, chimney stacks and hung tiles are sympathetic to the local vernacular, while inside a plethora of beautifully considered spaces unfold from the grandeur of a central entrance hall where an exquisite solid oak staircase reaches up to a galleried landing.

With the understated luxury of a pared-back aesthetic and deft use of double doors flowing cohesively, the ground floor is dominated by a series of four exemplary reception rooms interconnecting with a fluidity perfectly curated for family life. Finishing touches such as the integrated speaker system have been incorporated with both subtly and functionality.

Triple aspect and filled with garden vistas, a refined drawing room unfurls over a superb 32’10ft with the beautiful brickwork of an exceptional inglenook fireplace. French doors tempt you out onto the reposefulness of the terracing, while inner double doors open into the formal dining room with elegant decor. It’s here that an expanse of glazing with further French doors is perfectly placed to let the gardens add a majestic backdrop and the terracing to engender a seamless extension of the space.

Ideal for entertaining, this inviting space leads in turn to the open plan design of an outstanding kitchen/breakfast room with its own additional dining area and adjoining cinema room. Free flowing with abundant French doors that conjure a graceful wow factor with their high arches, the layout is both quietly understated and richly sophisticated. The cohesive use of curves is deftly matched by the fitted bench seating of the breakfast room and the notable craftsmanship of an elongated island in the kitchen where a duo of under-mounted sinks is paired with spray and hot water taps. Shaker cabinetry topped with granite lends a pop of colour and warmth with its teal blue and solid wood hues, and a first class array of integrated Gaggenau appliances includes eye-level ovens, a warming tray and American style fridge freezer. A bar stool overhang enhances the social feel of the room further still, while the glass roof of the hugely versatile dining area lends a wonderful measure of voluminosity to a stunning living space that sits in perfect harmony with the bucolic setting. Each set of French doors lets life filter freely out onto the terracing and the inclusion of an adjoining cinema that’s supremely well-appointed demonstrates an understanding of how a contemporary family home should flow. Ideal for everything from a family film night to entertaining friends, its positioning means that it can become an integral part of the living spaces or remain discreetly hidden from view.
