For Sale6 Bedroom House in London Road, Sunninghill, Ascot, Berkshire, SL5£2,500,000

An impressive early 19th century, Grade II listed residence with delightful landscaped gardens Believed to date back to early C19, with later additions, Fairfield offers over 4,400 sq. ft of elegant accommodation showcasing period fireplaces, ornate coving, wall and ceiling panelling, and distinctive leaded-light windows with pointed-arch design. On entering the house, a stately reception hall features a splendid, curved staircase, galleried landing and double-height ceiling, with double ‘library’ doors opening into a drawing room centred around an impressive inglenook fireplace. Two reception rooms flank the hallway providing a sitting room to one side and a dining/family room to the other, both with French doors opening to the garden terrace. The kitchen/breakfast room offers a sociable hub to the home, with space for informal dining and casual seating, and is fitted with modern wall and base level cabinetry incorporating an island unit, granite worksurfaces, integral appliances, and an Aga. Two of the five bedrooms and a well-appointed bathroom may be reached via an inner hall on the ground floor or via independent access from outside. The first floor is arranged to provide three en suite bedrooms, including the principal room with its extensive wardrobe storage, bathroom, and doors opening out to a south-east facing balcony. Supplemental accommodation is provided by a self-contained one-bedroom annex in the north-easterly wing of the property, which benefits from its own access and offers versatile-use options. Outside Occupying a tucked-away position off London Road and set behind mature trees, the property is approached via wrought-iron gates onto a gravelled driveway which provides parking and gives access to the double garage. A pedestrian gate inset into a wall linking the garage to the house, opens to an enclosed courtyard where there is a door providing direct access to the annexe, and another opening into the utility room of the main house. The rear garden is beautifully designed and maintained with low-level clipped hedging, planted borders and tree-lined pathways forming a grid-effect through areas of lawn and providing a journey through the grounds. The outdoor pool has a paved surround and terrace area for lounging, and there is a greenhouse for the keen gardeners. Spanning the rear of the house, is a large paved terrace with direct access from the sitting and dining rooms, that offers opportunities for outdoor dining and entertaining. A generously proportioned log cabin, and a summerhouse, provide settings to shelter and enjoy the outdoors, with options for utilisation as studio or work spaces. There is also a tennis court that would benefit from some maintenance. Situation The property is situated a short distance from the village of Sunninghill and within easy reach of Sunningdale to the south and Ascot to the west. Everyday amenities are plentiful with the bustling Ascot High Street offering a comprehensive range of shopping and leisure facilities and Sunningdale providing a Waitrose supermarket. Road connections are excellent with easy access to both the M3 (J3) and the M25 (J13) and rail services to London (Waterloo) are available from Sunningdale and Ascot stations.
