7 bed property for sale

The Birches, Coombe Park, Kingston Upon Thames KT2, United Kingdom

Description

Positioned within the leafy Coombe Park Estate, this spacious family home sits on an expansive 1.56 acre south facing plot, one of only a few properties in the Estate to have such grounds.

The house is approached via wrought-iron security gates and a tarmac driveway, leading to a generous forecourt and detached double garage. A Yorkstone path winds up to the oak-panelled entrance, framed by low brick walls and mature planting. Inside, a mosaic-tiled vestibule opens to a grand oak-panelled hallway with a sweeping staircase giving an immediate sense of grandeur.

The triple-aspect reception room is grounded by a beautifully carved fireplace and French doors opening to the rear terrace, while the formal dining room features a hand-carved stone surround and views over the garden. A quiet study and a walk-in boot room provide ample space for modern family living.

The eat-in kitchen has Bavarian-style cabinetry; this leads to a rear lobby and an indoor swimming pool complex with a sauna, changing facilities, and sliding doors to the garden; a laundry room and secondary staircase complete this wing of the house.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom suite mirrors the proportions of the drawing room below, with its panelled walls, wooden flooring, and views over the gardens. It features a dressing room and a large bathroom with a cast-iron bath and twin basins. Four further bedrooms, a family bathroom, a separate cloakroom, and a walk-in linen room complete the first floor, while the second floor houses two spacious bedrooms, a bathroom, and a large loft storage area.

The southerly facing gardens wrap around the house, dotted with mature trees, a circular pond with water lilies, and a stone fountain surrounded by box hedging. Expanses of lawn and hidden walkways create a sense of peaceful seclusion.

Coombe Park sits within the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, a short distance from the shops and restaurants in Wimbledon Village and Kingston town centre. Richmond Park is moments away, while excellent transport links include Norbiton station (within one mile) and the A3 for swift access to Central London, Heathrow, and Gatwick airports.
