"AN ELEGANT DETACHED 5 BEDROOM HOME WITH A SWIMMING POOL ALL SET IN JUST UNDER 1.2 ACRES OF BEAUTIFUL, MATURE GARDENS AND GROUNDS.


Tanglewood, a prime example of Alfred J. Cornelius s architecture, is an unlisted property showcasing rendered and painted exterior walls, expansive tall windows, and a traditional Cornish slate roof. Over the years, the house has been thoughtfully upgraded and expanded. Enhancements include a porte coch re on the North East side and a new wing featuring a large vaulted garden room and a four car garage with a converted loft above limited head height .

The residence offers over 5,200 square feet of living space, blending airy, light filled interiors with touches of Art Deco style. The garden room, in particular, stands out with its bespoke hand crafted gin bar, library shelving, recessed gas fire, wall to wall glazed folding doors leading to the terrace, and a glass topped well in the floor.

The open plan kitchen and breakfast room are elegantly fitted with Cornish granite work surfaces, a central island with a secondary basin, and integrated Miele appliances, including two fan ovens, a steam oven, a microwave, warming drawers, a dishwasher, an induction hob, and a fridge freezer. An adjoining pantry includes an integrated fridge and freezer, as well as Miele washing machine and tumble dryer. A large utility laundry room with a ground floor shower room is accessible from the garden room.

On the first floor, the galleried landing leads to the principal bedroom, which features double doors and a Juliette balcony overlooking the gardens. This room includes a bespoke maple dressing room and a luxurious en suite shower room with a large walk in rain head shower. The first floor also has three additional double bedrooms, a family bathroom with an oversized bath and separate shower, and an extra family shower room. A staircase ascends to the second floor, where a spacious fifth bedroom nearly 25 feet in length and a 16 foot dressing room are located.

OUTSIDE
The property is approached via double electric gates and a long driveway that passes beneath the porte coch re, leading to the garages. A generous parking area beyond the porte coch re accommodates multiple vehicles or boats, with a four car garage and covered storage area.
Set within just under 1.2 acres of mature grounds, Tanglewood offers a high degree of privacy. The gardens feature a formal area bordered by evergreen hedges and mature trees, including oaks, magnolias, acers, and rhododendrons, all underplanted with wildflowers and flowering bulbs. The grounds also include a two tiered lawn, richly planted borders, and twin flights of stone steps leading to a heated swimming pool and terrace. Additionally, a sheltered circular lawn with a summer house and yew hedging enhances the outdoor space.
