Showcasing the grandeur and elegance of its illustrious era, this magnificent c1876 Victorian estate captivates with its storied past and landmark setting, nestled within a breathtaking 1,349sqm (approx.) Rick Eckersley and Lisa Stafford-designed, north-facing garden with tennis court. Imposing in scale and architecturally refined in the 1930s with a distinctive inter-war Mediterranean influence, it strikes an impeccable balance of majesty, modernity and divine serenity, once featured in Vogue Living (1998) and House & Garden (2000).

Secluded behind towering walls and set within a private garden oasis, the property unfolds as a masterpiece of natural beauty. Enveloped by a centuries-old oak tree, exhilarating seasonal colour and a serene water feature, it evokes a profound sense of escape and tranquillity, forming an exclusive retreat from the demands of daily life. The expansive loggia, perfectly positioned to capture sweeping vistas, leads to a grand central reception hall-an impressive introduction to the formal sitting and dining rooms, each adorned with exquisite marble fireplaces and seamlessly connected by an intimate music alcove and library. Poised to entertain at every turn, the home opens to a champion-sized tennis court and viewing pavilion to the rear, whilst a well-appointed granite kitchen flows onto a second living area with OFP, opening via French doors to the spectacular northern gardens.
