Description
A truly unique opportunity to own a piece of architectural history, this iconic former water tower has been masterfully transformed into a five/six bedroom home, blending historic character with striking modern design.
Spanning multiple levels and crowned with a stunning semi-circular balcony deck, this landmark property offers unrivalled panoramic views across the surrounding countryside to the North Downs. Every floor has been thoughtfully designed to maximize space and light.
The grand double entrance doors open into the ground floor entrance lobby and hall. Doors lead to a cloakroom, plant room, store room/gym and a spiral staircase leads to the first floor landing. There is also a lift providing access to all but the fourth floor.
The first floor consists of a bedroom with French doors to a glass balcony and en suite wet room. A further bedroom with en suite bathroom completes the first floor.
The principal bedroom with dressing room and en suite bathroom is found on the second floor together with two/three further bedrooms, a laundry room and family bathroom.
The third floor provides the living accommodation with a generous kitchen providing ample storage units under corian worktops and includes integrated double oven, freezer, dishwasher, wine cooler, microwave, induction hob and freestanding fridge freezer. The bright sitting room and study complete this floor.
The fourth floor is accessed via two staircases to an amazing party room providing a seating and dining area around a central freestanding woodburning stove. Two sets of bi-folding doors lead on to the stunning semi-circular balcony with glass balustrade.
The property is approached via double electric gates across a gravel drive to a parking and turning area with a triple garage. There is a covered pergola for outside entertaining and a hot tub. The fully enclosed low maintenance garden wraps around the property designed for seclusion and security.
