Hidden at the end of a discreet private lane serving only a select handful of homes, Oak House is an exceptional contemporary residence offering remarkable space, privacy and versatility. Set behind electric gates within approximately half an acre of beautifully landscaped gardens, the property provides almost 5,000 sq ft of accommodation across three floors, complemented by an outstanding detached studio of approximately 600 sq ft, currently arranged as a private gym and wellness suite. With independent heating, plumbing, shower facilities and its own entrance, the studio creates a rare opportunity for substantial home working, a professional or creative workspace, treatment or beauty studio, or simply an exceptional leisure space, subject to any necessary consents. Originally commissioned as a bespoke self-build in 2004, Oak House was created with quality and longevity at its heart. Since acquiring the property in 2010, the current owners have continued to enhance and refine the house, resulting in an impressive family home equally suited to entertaining, working from home, multi-generational living and changing family needs. ARRIVAL Electric gates open onto a substantial private courtyard providing extensive parking and access to the attached double garage. A recently added entrance vestibule, complete with an impressive Roc entrance door, introduces the quality found throughout the property. Beyond, a spacious reception hallway forms the central heart of the house, with a sweeping staircase rising through all three levels and glazed internal doors providing glimpses into the principal living spaces. THE PRINCIPAL LOUNGE The main lounge is a room of exceptional proportions. Full-height, dual-aspect glazing floods the space with natural light, while handcrafted mouldings, decorative ceiling detailing and 15mm solid oak flooring introduce warmth and craftsmanship. At its heart is one of Oak House's most distinctive features, an extraordinary carved Chinese alabaster fireplace weighing approximately two tonnes. Installed with structural reinforcement during construction, it creates a dramatic focal point. A fitted Bang & Olufsen entertainment system completes a room equally suited to entertaining and relaxed family living. THE ORANGERY Glazed doors connect the lounge with a magnificent orangery extending to approximately 370 sq ft.

Recently upgraded with a new roof and skylights and finished with granite flooring, the orangery provides a superb year-round setting for relaxing, informal dining and entertaining.
