An exceptional Edwardian style family home of approximately 7,000sqft, situated in half an acre of beautifully tended, westerly private gardens. Audley House is ideally located, in one of the most desirable roads on Hutton Mount, just a short walking distance from Shenfield mainline railway station and Crossrail terminus, with reputable local schools in easy reach.

With a timeless yet careful blend of traditional and contemporary styling, the property was thoughtfully constructed to the highest level of quality and design just nine years ago. Carefully selected materials such as handmade Sussex clay bricks and handmade clay roof tiles have been used to encompass clearly defined living and entertaining spaces that are ideal for modern family living.

Designed by award winning architects Cowper Griffith, period style proportions and elegance span from top to bottom, captured by the east-west orientation that ensures an abundance of natural light from every angle. Upon entry, a full height stair hall seamlessly connects the main living spaces while a cut string staircase ascends to the curved first floor galleried landing.

Very much the hub of this special home is the Davenport fitted kitchen and family/TV room, that provides free-flowing space on a large scale, perfect for entertaining and growing families.

The three principal reception rooms dovetail formally and informally, distinctive by their tall ceilings, bespoke finishes and traditional bay windows. Like the kitchen, the drawing room offers uninterrupted views of the private and well-tended gardens to the rear of the house.

From the kitchen/day room area, steps discreetly descend to the basement level that incorporates a stunning state-of-the-art home cinema, bespoke wine room, games area and bar. A perfect entertaining space for visiting friends and family.

Solid concrete floors with underfloor heating span throughout with heat recovery ventilation on all floors. The lateral principal suite occupies the entire depth of this bright home and incorporates a large well-appointed dressing room and luxuriously finished bathroom, fitted with the highest level of sanitary ware. The three remaining bedrooms on this level benefit from an abundance of space.

On the second floor, the accommodation is free-flowing and flexible for growing families, teenagers/au-pair facilities. A large bedroom suite with a vaulted ceiling draws light from bay dormer windows that provide elevated views of the rear garden and incorporates a well appointed shower room. This level also currently accommodates a superb home gymnasium, though the space is very versatile and can be easily adapted to a multitude of requirements. High quality bespoke smart home solutions incorporate Rako lighting, Hikvision CCTV and Control 4.

The evergreen gardens are exceptionally peaceful and private, with distinctive, unoverlooked formal and informal areas that draw plenty of sunshine, owing to the favourable westerly elevation. The loggia enables outside entertaining across all seasons. With an abundance of space for the pergola, sun terraces, cooking stations, a choice of seating areas and BBQ’s, the garden perfectly complements the scale of the house, with careful consideration given to the identity of each area. The low maintenance lawn area is surrounded by a mature array of shrubs, plants and trees that offer a most welcoming garden environment. The front garden is screened from Hillwood Grove by mature hedgerow and offers extensive off-street parking with the benefit of garaging and a 3 phase ev charging point.
