Magnificently built and finished to exceptional standards with no expense spared. This incredible house blends the character and charm of a mediaeval French Chateau while delivering all the best of modern open plan living with the elegance of tradition. This house is truly unique. Don’t be fooled by the grand wrought iron gates, distressed oak beams, granite driveway and natural stone features, this house is modern to the core. Completed in 2006 and recently refurbished this house was built to a quality rarely found and boasts all the modern high tech infrastructure you would expect from top specification new build today. Offering the best of home automation with full Crestron AV integration, Lutron lighting, a passenger lift to all floors including the basement and the nearly 5000 sqft full height loft storage area, state of the art security, Trend building management system controlling the heated floors, air conditioning and air handling systems throughout. It even has its own bore hole water supply. This house is state of the art. This property comprises some of the most luxurious spaces, including a

generous principal bedroom with an award winning principal en suite, gymnasium, state of the art cinema room and wine vault while also offering 1.2 acres of landscaped gardens, private gated driveway with ample parking for 10 cars, integral garaging, seven bedrooms as well as staff quarters and is located at the heart of the most desirable Avenue in Radlett, Hertfordshire. The balance of the space is unusually clever and well designed with its flowing open plan rooms.

Modelled on a traditionally American footprint, despite its size, it is surprisingly intimate and would serve as an incredibly warm and charming family home regardless of the number of occupiers. In fact you feel that even just 2 people could comfortably reside here, perhaps with a housekeeper and not feel out of place, whilst having the facilities to accommodate as many guests as you wish, whenever you wanted.

GROUND FLOOR

The ground floor has a footprint of almost 10,000 sq ft offering vast rooms spread across both wings of the house. You are initially greeted through a stone entrance by a remarkably grand solid oak front door with a hand-carved arch frame. As you enter into a large entrance hall with 30 ft vaulted ceilings, you immediately sense the grandeur of the property and how this will continue as you explore. With concrete floors throughout, gold and silver leaf accents and hand painted detailing complemented by solid oak finishes, this home truly has a unique regal design like no other.

Heading straight on, you are welcomed by the central reception room, with a feature hand carved stone fireplace, solid oak panelling on the walls, spotlights and a phenomenal chandelier, and to top it off a floor to ceiling 30ft Georgian stone arch window with views onto the landscaped gardens. Truly Magnificent.

GROUND FLOOR

At a slight left, you are in sight of the large entrance into the open plan kitchen/diner, with a further living space. The kitchen is the perfect blend of character and contemporary, with beautifully hand-carved wooden cabinetry and imposing pillars from the central island, elegantly mixed with Calacatta marble counters tops and high specification Wolf and Sub Zero appliances. There is a chilled walk in larder, heated floors, air conditioning and fresh air handling throughout.

GROUND FLOOR

The office is a wonderful room. Very spacious, tall ceilings and large triple aspect windows allow the natural light to flood right through whilst you benefit from views of the beautifully manicured gardens. The office also has a wonderful feature, a spiral staircase that leads to a gallery/library which overlooks the entire room.

Just along from the kitchen is the incredible dining room, fitting for a regal banquet. A spacious room with a dining table that comfortably seats 14, surrounded by exquisite paintings, a working fireplace, feature gold and silver leaf detailed ceiling with central ceiling rose and French doors out into the stone courtyard and cascading waterfall.

GROUND FLOOR

If you continue to the left, you are presented with multiple doors, one in fact being a passenger lift to all floors, including the basement and loft, and the other a walkway into the incredible and fully equipped gym. If you are a fitness fanatic or like to offer your guests fitness facilities, then this is a perfect aesthetic for a gym. With a tall octagonal oak timber frame, skylight turret, triple aspect windows, and full length large mirrors with integrated TV’s, this creates a light and airy environment, perfect for working out. If working out isn’t your thing this room could work incredibly well as a studio or indeed as a classic car showroom as it was designed with 3 metre wide glass pivot doors to access the driveway. A truly magnificent and flexible space.

GROUND FLOOR

The principal suite stretches the width of the property and spans the whole right wing. You enter through a magnificent 25 ft high double door and the principal bedroom sits to your left and the award winning principal en suite to the right. The stand out feature in the principal bedroom is the majestic and imposing four poster solid oak bed frame with hand carved detailing on the roof and backboard, as well as the striking hand painted vaulted dome ceiling, situated over a raised seating area with views to the gardens. Leaving no stone unturned, you follow through to the breathtaking en suite. As you exit the principal suite through the very impressive hallway of this wing, you will find two elegant en suite bathrooms. One of the bathrooms has a beautiful modern twist with its floor to ceiling marble tiles, huge glass shower and a gorgeous steam room.

The second en suite on this wing is truly world class, a huge marble finished bath with a gorgeous crystal chandelier in the hand painted ceiling with custom mosaic dome. Two very large separate sink areas with oversized heated mirrors and a double shower very much like you would find in a luxurious Roman spa. This wing also benefits from two large walk-in dressing rooms. There are also a further two bedrooms on the ground floor.

BASEMENT

As you head down to the basement you have multiple spaces for storage, a state of the art plant room and an additional fully working kitchen. However, that is not all the basement has to offer, this uniquely designed space offers a charming characterful temperature controlled and dehumidified wine vault with rustic beams, tasting sink and plenty of space for your wine collection. Opposite the wine vault, through the hidden painted door you are introduced to the state of the art cinema, offering tiered seating for 15 guests, equipped with blankets and pillows for the cosy movie evenings with family and friends. To make life easier there is also a WC and kitchenette/ bar so food and snacks can be prepared prior to you enjoying a family night in. This is not a movie room. This is a Cinema!

FIRST FLOOR
