Grand designs

Rosanna Greenstreet takes a look at two very different, but equally impressive properties, for sale on our patch

Cullen House

What makes a dream home? You can’t go far wrong with top notch design in a fabulous location. Well we already know that we live in one of the best places on the planet, and, on the market, are two grand designs to whet the appetite.

Cullen House is an attractive Regency style home on the St George’s Hill estate in Weybridge with an excellent arrangement of accommodation for modern family living. The reception hall leads to all the principal reception rooms: an elegant drawing room with fireplace, double aspect sitting room with bay window, dining room with parquet floor and study complete with fitted shelves.

The kitchen/breakfast room has attractive terracotta tiling and doors to the grounds which include an outdoor swimming pool. Upstairs the master bedroom suite has a sitting area, dressing room and a balcony giving wonderful views over the rear garden; there are three further bedrooms. On the second floor there are two bedroom suites plus a media room. An added bonus is the lower ground floor which has a staff/TV room with ensuite bathroom, sitting room and wine cellar plus a gym/games room. Above the garage there is also a separate staff flat.

Weybridge Park

It is worth noting that at nearby Weybridge Park there are two luxury Octagon homes near completion which are also for sale through Curchods. Ashridge House and Linley House (pictured right) each have a guide price of £3.55m and offer the sort of substantial and flexible accommodation that is perfect for families. Set over three floors, the detached properties sit at the heart of this coveted private estate.

Courtleas

Somewhat smaller than Cullen House but no less stylish, this contemporary property situated on Courtleas in Cobham features marvellous vaulted ceilings in the reception rooms. In addition to a lovely dining room, there is also a garden room which overlooks the professionally landscaped grounds designed for visual appeal and ease of maintenance. The master suite has casement doors to the terrace, and there are two further bedrooms. Despite being described as a chalet-style bungalow there is a first floor with a fabulous space that would make a great study or fourth bedroom. Outside, the double garage has twin remote up-and-over doors.
