With the architectural feel of a classic villa set within the greenery of a Mediterranean hillside, Bart House combines the traditional design of a capacious L-shaped arrangement with the elegant simplicity of a clean line aesthetic. Nestled out of view within idyllic gardens, its position on Mount Road proffers stunning far-reaching vistas of the North Downs. Demonstrating an understanding of light and space, the fluidity of the accommodation stretches out allowing balconies and terracing to play an integral part of daily life.
With a subtle palette of calming grey hues and cool whites flowing cohesively throughout, the considered layout of this Hook Heath home unfolds from a beautiful central entrance hall onto a succession of light filled reception rooms that interconnect to give a sociable yet delineated feel.
A solid oak floor lends a warming balance extending through glazed double doors into a superb living room where a contemporary glass fronted fireplace sits inset into the chimney breast and French doors tempt you out into the summer sun. With further glazed doors subtly enhancing the flow of natural light, the impressive dimensions connect with an adjoining dining room and into a supremely well-appointed triple aspect kitchen/breakfast room. Each space allows the greenery of the gardens to add a tranquil backdrop and opens onto the terracing making it easy to step out and admire your surroundings.
With the sleek streamlined design of handleless cabinetry and granite countertops the kitchen has a first class array of integrated Neff appliances and wraps-around to give bar stool seating. Uniting the breakfast area with the dining room, a coffee station with an integrated drinks cooler makes a clever use of space and it’s there that you’ll find a reinforced glass trap door set within the floor with steps down to a wine cellar with feature Banksy motifs, storage for 1000 bottles of your favourite vintage and generous space for additional items.
Explore further and you’ll discover the sweeping archway of the entrance hall takes you into a trio of interconnecting rooms that sit quietly away from main hubbub of daily life. Gym and hobby rooms provide flexible spaces that can be tailored to your own needs, and whilst a large fitted laundry room has handy side access to the gardens, the hobby room opens into the integral garaging/bike store. A cloakroom completes the ground floor.
Deftly adding to the feeling of light and space a glass framed staircase entices you up to the galleried landing of the first floor where French doors give you every excuse to step out onto a wonderful balcony reaching across the L-shaped facade of the house. All around you a succession of five light filled double bedrooms produce an ideal measure of accommodation for a growing family, all benefiting from tastefully chosen fitted storage. With a duo of walk-in wardrobes and an enviably deluxe en suite, the impeccable principal bedroom opens onto a private balcony with picturesque vistas of the gardens and landscape. Teenagers will love the impressively sized second bedroom with its own en suite, while the additional three rooms share an equally exemplary family bathroom with a roll top bath. Whilst each en suite and bathroom has a walk-in Aqualisa shower and refined tile setting, it’s good to note that contemporary en suite of the principal bedroom has the added luxury of an inset bathtub and twin countertop basins.
