Description
A magnificent family home designed by the award winning architect James Gorst to make the most of its wonderful setting. All rooms have been finished to the highest standard and have stunning views through floor to ceiling windows. Of particular note is the spacious drawing room with fireplace and polished concrete flooring, which continues through to the library and dining room that are both wood panelled adding a rich domestic texture to the building. The kitchen / breakfast room has a monumental marble slab island unit, top of the range bespoke Siematic cabinetry and a unique hanging contemporary chandelier. Off the kitchen there is a fully fitted utility room with marble worktops, and a boot room with ample storage and an outside door.
Upstairs the master bedroom has built in wardrobes and a stunning marble en suite bathroom with huge walk-in shower. There are four further bedrooms, 2 of which benefit from matching en suite marble shower rooms. There is also a family bathroom. All the bathrooms have stunning architectural roof lights that cascade light into the rooms.
Gardens and Grounds
Outside the gravel driveway, accessed through electric gates, provides ample parking and a turning area in front of the double garage. The garden is mainly laid to lawn and is bordered by hedging and trees. There is a salt water swimming pool and a pool room, off of which is a separate terraced area with far reaching views towards Frensham Common, creating an ideal space for entertaining. In all about 1 acre.
Architects note
After reading architecture at Cambridge, James Gorst worked for internationally acclaimed architects Sir Denys Lasdun and John Outram before starting his own practice. He has been awarded numerous accolades, including regional and national RIBA awards, and has won the Building Design Individual House
Architect of the Year Award 2017. Sandpipers has also been
shortlisted for the South East Regional RIBA Awards 2017.
James Gorst - Seldom is the architect blessed with the good
fortune of an ideal client and an ideal site. Sandpipers is the result of that serendipity. It is a serious piece of modern architecture that rejects the vagaries of fashion and achieves its impact through formal restraint and good, traditional craftsmanship.
