Description

Kennedys Estate Agents are delighted to offer for sale this attractive and unique property which is formed from the central wing of a substantial country house that boasts a unique and rich history dating back to the late 19th century, offering 3640 sq feet of accommodation over three floors and situated with Walton Heath Golf Club at the end of the road.

This attractive and substantial 19th century property, which is in its own courtyard at the end of a driveway, once formed the main central (master‘s) part of an impressive English country house and resides in the beautiful and much sought-after Surrey area of Walton On The Hill, close to the world famous Epsom Racecourse. The property was originally designed by Percy Richard Marley Horder, a renown and favoured architect of the time and it was the full-time residence of Lord Stevenson, the joint Managing Director of Johnnie Walker who was also appointed to a senior position in the Ministry of Munitions during the 1st World War. He was later appointed the Baronet of Walton Heath in 1917. From 1921 he worked as Personal Advisor to Winston Churchill and it is believed that various meetings between Churchill, Stevenson and David Lloyd George, MP were held in the living area of this outstanding property. The home is pleasantly situated, surrounded by well-kept and sizable gardens and for those who are avid golfers, theres Walton Heath Golf Club just a couple of hundred yards down the road. The current owners family is also steeped in history, with the eldest of the generation having been a cousin of Charles Rolls, as well as an Austin, and whose flamboyant character and joie de vivre saw her racing cars in the 1920s and 30s and later, during the Second World War, building and flying spitfires.

The village of Walton on the Hill, where this property resides, has a picturesque village pond, local pubs and restaurants as well as various amenities, and there are reputable schools and, with excellent rail links to London and being inside Zone 6, its ideally placed for City commuters. The property is full of traditional features and it is clear to see how the glorious styles and fashions over the years have seemsely blended together, evoking memories of the past and aspirations for the future.

Redholm Courts interior offers a wealth of architecturally stunning features such as the grand hallway which leads to a vast and glorious living space, complete with an impressive double storey ballroom with sprung floor, an ornate fireplace and an abundance of natural light from the beautiful double storey bay window. Open the double doors to both the ballroom and second reception room and the grand entertaining rooms combined provide the perfect setting for a fabulous gathering to celebrate any occasion. From the inner hallway, theres access to an enchanted and secluded garden with hidden away areas, mature trees, and in the Summer, a sweetly scented fragrance from the David Austen roses. Theres also a delightful patio, a charming Dovecot and two lovely ponds, one with a fountain. Although theres a certain degree of ceremony and pomp to this home, the property was designed for comfort and manages to be both timeless and liveable, both inside and out.

The well-proportioned kitchen, complete with freestanding Aga, is a superb hub of the home with ample storage space and is complemented by a larder. Theres additional storage space in the hall as well as a ground floor cloakroom and nearby separate utility room which retains as much character as the remainder of the home.

This striking property continues to impress on the first floor where theres a sizeable and stylish master bedroom that retains superb period features such as the ornate fireplace and oak panelling, which is now very much in vogue. In addition, theres a large walk-in wardrobe, which can also be accessed from the landing. The second bedroom on this floor is a fantastic size and overlooks the front courtyard and the superb art studio which has its own separate garden. The bathroom has character and features a separate shower cubicle with a rainforest power shower. The w.c. is nextdoor to the bathroom, which is ideal when someone is relaxing in a hot and indulgent bath and the adjacent airing cupboard is a great size and has plenty of shelving. The home continues to impress as we walk along a Minstrels Gallery which offers a splending and imposing view of the ballroom below, not to mention the wonderful conices and intricate details of the elaborate room that can be viewed from this height. We understand that the current owners often employed a string quartet to provide the live music for their special events and where better to play than from this fine Minstrels Gallery. We continue along the passageway, pass the laundry room, which has a separate toilet, and we are treated to a third floor, complete with a separate living area which is ideal for older children or simply as a superb guest quarter. Here youll find a good-sized lounge which opens out to a decorative balcony that affords delightful views over the garden. From the living area (which has been used as a bedroom in the past) theres a modern and well-equipped kitchen and breakfast room which leads to a good-sized bedroom and a quirky bathroom with lovely features. This third floor living space is completely versatile and would also make a wonderful studio or home office or may be let as a separate apartment for £1,250 pcm. The private courtyard to the front of the property boasts a large area for numerous parked cars and leads on to a hedgerow enclosed lawn area with a large studio currently being utilised as an art studio.

Redholm Court is an outstanding property in a superb and affluent location. It offers a glimpse into the past with the efficiencies and conveniences of a modern home and its versatility renders it suitable for any buyer.
