5 bed detached house to rent

Albany Close, Esher, Surrey KT10

Award-winning contemporary home with five en suite bedrooms, landscaped gardens, a swimming pool and triple garage.

Description
Set at the end of a cul-de-sac behind double wooden gates, this contemporary detached house was designed by Wilkinson King Architects and completed in 2006. Occupying a private plot of approximately 0.65 acres, the property is screened by mature hedging and trees, with landscaped gardens arranged across a series of terraces.

The house received a riba award following its completion and has been featured in a number of architectural publications. Its cantilevered design is supported by two structural walls and aluminium-clad columns, while extensive glazing creates a strong connection between the interior spaces and the surrounding gardens.

A glazed entrance leads into a central double-height atrium, where a glass staircase rises to a galleried first-floor landing. The ground floor is arranged around a series of flexible reception spaces, including a drawing room, family room, study and dining area. Limestone flooring runs throughout much of the ground floor, creating continuity between the principal living spaces.

The kitchen, dining area and utility room are fitted with Bulthaup cabinetry together with Gaggenau and Miele appliances. Large areas of glazing and multiple doors provide direct access to the gardens, swimming pool and pool house. The drawing room features a gas fireplace and glazing to two elevations overlooking the landscaped grounds.

The first floor comprises five bedrooms, each with its own en suite bath or shower room and fitted storage. The principal bedroom is positioned above the drawing room and benefits from floor-to-ceiling glazing overlooking the garden, together with a spacious en suite bathroom with both a bath and separate shower.

Further accommodation includes an integral triple garage with access from both inside and outside the house. The property offers substantial family accommodation within a highly private setting, combining award-winning contemporary architecture with practical everyday living.
