Refined modern living, defined by an extraordinary waterside setting.

Description
Nestled within a private setting in Laleham, this exceptional contemporary home offers a rare combination of striking architectural design, luxurious interiors and breathtaking natural surroundings, backing directly onto a beautiful spring fed swimmable pond - an outstanding feature that defines the entire setting and creates a truly unique sense of tranquillity and escape.

From the moment you enter, the property makes an immediate impression. A dramatic double-height reception hall features a sweeping staircase, galleried landing and expansive glazing, flooding the space with natural light and setting the tone for the elegant accommodation throughout.

The heart of the home is undoubtedly the impressive open-plan kitchen/breakfast room, beautifully appointed with bespoke cabinetry, high-spec integrated appliances, a large central island and ample space for informal dining. This space flows effortlessly to the outside, ideal for modern family living and entertaining.

A separate sitting room and a stunning vaulted reception room, complete with exposed beams, a feature fireplace, and full-height glazing, create further stylish living areas, each designed to maximise light and showcase uninterrupted views across the landscaped garden and the pond beyond.

Additional ground floor amenities include a well-designed utility/boot room and a versatile reception room currently used as a games room, offering flexibility for a home office, gym or cinema room.

Upstairs, the galleried landing leads to beautifully presented bedrooms, all finished to an exceptional standard. Several enjoy vaulted ceilings, bespoke detailing and access to balconies overlooking the tranquil gardens and water, reinforcing the home’s seamless connection to its natural surroundings. The principal suite features a generous dressing room and luxurious en suite, while the second floor bedroom is particularly impressive, complemented by a beautifully appointed bathroom with a statement freestanding roll-top bath, making it an ideal second principal suite.

Externally, the property truly excels, centred around the magnificent spring-fed pond. Surrounded by mature trees and natural planting, it provides a rare sense of privacy and a peaceful, almost retreat-like atmosphere. A large sun terrace with contemporary glass balustrades creates an elevated vantage point, perfect for entertaining or relaxing while taking in the ever-changing outlook across the water.

Steps lead down to a charming waterside deck at the pond’s edge, offering a unique opportunity for private wild swimming or quiet moments by the water. The pond is not simply a feature but the defining element of the home, bringing light, movement and a constant connection to nature throughout the property. The beautifully landscaped gardens further enhance the setting, while a timber outbuilding, positioned close to the water, provides additional storage or potential for use as a studio or retreat.
