"A characterful family home with a west-facing entertaining garden, heated pool and exceptional spaces for hosting"
The Property
Marielyst is a substantial family home set well back from the road behind a sweeping driveway and mature planting. Timber framing to the upper elevation gives the house a distinctive character, while the established grounds provide a wonderfully private setting.
The living room is rich in character, with dark panelled walls, an open fire and reclaimed timber mantel, while glazed double doors lead through to a similarly atmospheric dining room. A conservatory catches the morning light and looks across the garden, while a separate studio provides useful space for working from home or pursuing hobbies.
At the heart of the house is a generous kitchen, dining and living space, centred around a marble-topped island with integrated gas hob. Glazed doors fold back towards the garden, creating an effortless connection between the house and the extensive outdoor entertaining areas.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom provides a peaceful retreat with bespoke wardrobes and glazed doors opening into a luxurious en-suite. The bathroom features veined marble, a freestanding bath beneath shuttered windows and brushed brass fittings. Three further bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the first floor.
Externally
The west-facing garden is designed for entertaining, with the heated swimming pool and terrace positioned to enjoy the afternoon and evening sun. A timber tiki bar with thatched roof sits beside the pool, while a substantial brick-built fireplace creates a separate outdoor fire lounge surrounded by mature planting.
An outdoor kitchen provides space for cooking and entertaining, while a detached outhouse offers further flexibility as a gym, workshop or storage space. Solar panels feed three Tesla Powerwalls, with an electric car charger positioned at the front of the property.
