Esher, KT10 9EE

ABOUT THIS HOUSE Wood End presents a handsome London stock brick facade with columned portico and well-proportioned sash windows, dating from 1805 and extended over time, most recently by the current owners who carried out an exceptional programme of modernisation and refurbishment some ten years ago, fundamentally transforming the house whilst preserving its late Georgian character throughout. The magnificent full-width orangery, a soaring glazed family room of around 34 feet, opens directly onto the garden and pool terrace, with a beautifully fitted kitchen adjoining. Six generous bedrooms include a principal suite with dressing room and en suite bathroom, with the three further bedrooms also benefitting from ensuite bathrooms. The south and west facing garden, designed by a Hampton Court Flower Show gold medallist, features a heated swimming pool, gym studio, generous terracing and a detached Bakehouse office/annex.
