Full Details for 8 Bedroom Detached for sale in Ascot, SL5 :

Carolina is nestled amongst a prestigious community within close proximity to Ascot. Situated along the same residential road as the excellently-regarded Sunningdale Golf Course, just off the A30 London Road, the property offers excellent travel links as well as a serene setting.

Beyond the white picket fencing the house is approached via a circular gravel driveway with spotlights and two double electric gates. The driveway circumvents a maintained lawn area surrounded by mature and well-tended shrubbery, providing ample parking for several vehicles.

Passing through the impressive pillared front entrance, a solid mahogany front door with side lighting windows leads to the striking entrance hall. This features a traditional fireplace with a hearth and surrounding seats, Oak flooring and a double-sized cloak cupboard. The high-specification finish and attention to detail on the property, even down to the Victorian-style radiators, is immediately evident and consistent throughout the entire property. From the entrance area to the right-hand side of the house is the older part of the property.

The older part leads into a partly wood-panelled snug reception area, fitted with recessed built-in shelving. The décor is luxurious with cream carpets, a large hearth fireplace with electric fire, and chandelier light fitting. To the front of the room is an enormous bow window and to the rear access to the back garden. This reception area leads to a further panelled room, currently being used as a study, and fully tiled cloakroom toilet. This room has a bow window overlooking the rear garden, oak flooring, another electric fireplace and storage cupboard. The staircase from the study adjoins the third bedroom on the first floor but is not the main stairway.

To the left of the entrance area the Oak flooring continues into a further hallway. Here is the main stairway to the first floor and another fully tiled guest cloakroom. Across the second hallway leads to the pleasant family breakfast room, currently accommodating a large eight-person table comfortably. Sunlight from the large front-facing window floods the room each morning and, typical of the consistent décor there is a mix of oak and high-gloss Ceramic flooring, fitted server-type cabinets and a large open-hearth fireplace with gas burning fire. The ceramic tiles lead on to the kitchen.

The traditionally styled kitchen overlooks the front of the property and is finished with painted wooden floor cabinets, wood and glass wall cabinets, granite worktops, ceramic wall tiles and a high-gloss ceramic tile floor. It features a large six-ring gas range-cooker, a built in specialised Gaggenau oven and steam oven, Neff combination microwave and hidden built-in waste bins. The large deep stainless steel sink with mixer tap is situated underneath the window overlooking the front garden. The far wall features exposed brickwork and a usefully large, shelved pantry area, with space for an American-sized fridge-freezer. Attached to the kitchen are two utility areas, both have sinks and storage with worktop space and immediate access to outside, though one has a cloakroom toilet and the other, space for a washer and dryer; currently semi-professional Maytag machines are fitted.

Adjoining the family breakfast room as well as the second hallway is the breath-taking formal dining area, currently with space for a twelve-person dining table. The space is double-height, mostly dark wood-panelled and overlooked on two sides by the galleried first floor reception area. The room features a thick luxurious cream carpet, further fitted server cabinets to one end, and two double-height bow windows that look onto the rear garden at the other. There is a traditional beamed ceiling, majestic chandelier and a large working brickwork and stone-tiled inglenook fireplace. The ultimate in entertaining spaces.

The space annexing the swimming pool to the main house, referred to as the water feature room, is accessible through the formal dining area via two single glass doors. This ceramic tiled area spreads over two separate levels and with a vaulted ceiling, rendered walls, floor mounted radiators and lower access into the garden, centres on a main water feature. The water feature room leads onto the indoor heated swimming pool. With hand railed steps at the 0.9 metre 'shallow end,' it reaches a total depth of two metres at the 'deep end.' The pool is an overflow type with drains to allow for, catch and recirculate any displaced water. This style of pool, combined with the smart ceramic tiled walkways, creates a seamless transition between the tiles and water. Adjoining the swimming pool is a fully air-conditioned and mirrored gym, a cloakroom with shower and boiler room.

Opposite the water feature room and attached to the pool room, is the Teppanyaki room. This centres around a large Teppanyaki hot plate and ceiling extractor. There is side door access to the front garden and a double door access through into the rear garden. The oak Karndean parquet-style flooring with ebony, mahogany and beech inserts is most striking and continues on into the snooker room.

The snooker room has its own bar, a traditional stone fireplace with leather-topped surrounding seats, and a gas fire with double doors opening out onto the back garden. The kitchen area is finished with beech doors, ceramic wall and floor tiles with space for a dishwasher, washing machine and fridge freezer. There is an electric Smeg hob and built-in oven. Above the snooker room is currently being used as an office though lends itself to being an additional bedroom, and is accessed via the stone spiral stairs from the Teppanyaki room. The room enjoys splendid views over the rear garden, has two built in wardrobes and a traditional fireplace fitted with a gas fire. There is an en-suite with shower as well as another kitchen area; once used as a dark room and therefore some original equipment remains installed. The snooker room and office clearly lend themselves to potentially being used as a separate dwelling or annexe.

The first of the bedrooms is on the ground floor, just off the second hallway from the main entrance hall. The bedroom looks out over and enjoys access to the rear garden. On one side of the room is a walk-in dressing room with solid oak flooring and a lit vanity mirror and dresser; there are a further two built-in wardrobes within the bedroom. To the other side is a beautifully high quality and glossy wet room. This features a double walk-in glass shower enclosure with rainfall shower head, as well as separate wall-mounted shower hose. Above the 'his and hers' wall-mounted sinks is a lit anti-fog mirror, wooden storage draws below, and on either side separate wall mounted cupboards. There is also a large separate bath with shower head fitting, and a large ceiling-height radiator and hand towel rail. The high-gloss finish is accentuated by the blue LED lighting found along the edges of the bath and recessed shelving areas around the room.

Follow the wide-set main staircase there are a further four to five bedrooms on the first floor; the fourth is currently being used as a reception area to bedroom five. All benefit from views of the front lawn and driveway, and the consistently high quality of finish and décor is again obvious throughout all, all feature built-in wardrobe storage.

Three of the first floor bedrooms are en suite, with a further separate family bathroom and cloakroom; again all a similarly high standard. However, from the landing the eye is naturally drawn towards the timber and glass dividing wall of the unique first floor reception area, the gallery of which overlooks the ground floor formal dining area.This dual aspect room is flooded with light from the east and south- facing balcony and windows, enjoying views of the entire rear garden and the nearby golf course. To the right a large inglenook fireplace, with grand pillars either side, exposed brickwork behind, a large hand-beaten and polished bronze hood and glass surround, is the main focus of the room. Across the room from the large fireplace are the balustrades overlooking the formal dining area below. More built in panels of dark wood shelving and cabinets harbour a door to the small internal bar area. This is complete with counter cupboard units, worktop space and a sink. Standing alone in the reception room is a ceiling-height bookcase and mirror unit, one side of which houses the entertainment unit; taking full advantage of the floor-box electrics. To the rear and eastern side of the room are two access doors to the outside balcony which also provides access down to the garden below.

Above the first floor reception area is the recently added second floor master suite. The master suite enjoys elevated views through large dormer windows to the east over the garden, and French door access to the roof terrace opposite. The suite has its own walk-through dressing room and is serviced by its own separate bathroom. Pristinely finished and entirely tiled, the bathroom offers his and hers vanity sinks, toilet, bidet, and an elegant modern roll-top bath with shower head attachment. The bath sits underneath and basks in the light of the large bathroom window. The separate area from the landing near the bathroom is currently used as further storage, but could be useful as a small bedroom, nursery or office, and has its own cloakroom at the far end.

The property is set in mature and beautifully maintained grounds. To the right rear of the property is a vibrant and blooming flower garden, complete with large rose trellises and circular gravel walkways. The walkways join up with the flagstone patio area that runs the length of the property. This is bordered by planted lavenders and brick walls, looking out over the lower lawn area which a number of steps provide access to. The lawn has a central mature tree with under-lighting and spotlights are dotted around the lawn edge to make a statement at night-time. The lawn edges are surrounded by thick shrubbery amongst which, are nestled an extremely smart garden folly and further water features. To the far left of the garden are further gravel walkways, connecting the patio to a sundial feature, and large overhanging willow, beneath which is further under-lighting and a bench seat. The log storage and greenhouse areas of the garden are smartly hidden behind laurel hedgerows, and behind the annexed/ snooker room wing of the house, are three large storage sheds. Beyond that, working your way back to the front of the house is a separate triple-bay car garage, above which is a reception area, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom.
