5 bed detached house for sale

Larch Avenue, Sunninghill, Berkshire SL5

A unique and characterful family home, offering the charm of a period property with all the benefits of a modern house, built in 1990

Description
Hamilton House is a privately positioned, traditionally crafted country residence set behind gates within a mature and discreet Ascot setting.

Conceived with deliberate architectural intent, the house was designed to reflect the proportions, materials and quiet authority of an established English country home. Balanced elevations, generous ceiling heights and carefully selected finishes combine to create a sense of permanence and warmth that is rarely achieved in more recent houses. The result is a home of substance and presence, offering the atmosphere of a much older property while providing the practicality and comfort expected for contemporary living.

The accommodation extends to well-proportioned reception rooms arranged to accommodate both formal entertaining and relaxed family life. A welcoming entrance hall sets the tone, leading to a series of reception spaces that benefit from garden views and natural light, reinforcing the sense of privacy and seclusion throughout. The layout flows naturally, with clear separation between reception and bedroom accommodation.

The kitchen and informal living areas provide a central hub suited to modern day-to-day use, while maintaining the architectural coherence of the house. Materials and detailing have been selected to complement the overall design ethos, creating spaces that feel grounded, balanced and enduring rather than fashion-led.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom suite enjoys outlooks over the grounds and offers generous dressing and bathroom facilities. Additional bedrooms are well-scaled and arranged to suit both family occupation and guest accommodation, all benefiting from the proportions that define the character of the house.

A notable feature of Hamilton House is the separate secondary building within the grounds. Providing valuable flexibility, this space lends itself equally to home working, studio use, fitness, guest accommodation or multigenerational living. In today’s market, such independence and adaptability are increasingly sought-after and materially enhance the property’s appeal.

The grounds are mature and well established, approached via a gated entrance which reinforces the sense of privacy and arrival. Gardens surround the house, offering both structured and informal areas suited to entertaining, recreation and quiet enjoyment.

Hamilton House occupies a discreet position within one of Ascot’s most desirable residential locations, combining accessibility with privacy. The setting provides the tranquillity of a country environment while remaining conveniently placed for local amenities, schools and transport connections.

In summary, Hamilton House offers architectural credibility, scale and discretion - a home designed to feel established and enduring, set within private gated grounds in a prime Ascot location.
