ROUNDWOOD Roundwood is an impressive Victorian residence dating back to around 1870 with late Georgian features. It has a handsome double fronted façade with a pillared covered entrance and tall sash window suggestive of the elegant grandeur within. The house has been in the same family since the 1940s and has the welcoming and warm ambience of a country home which has been enjoyed and appreciated by generations through the years. As such this rarely-available house has had a very private history. Roundwood comprises two storeys of flexible and refined accommodation with four principal reception rooms and nine first floor bedrooms. There is additional accommodation which might be re-configured to create a ground floor integral annexe; upstairs the bedrooms could be reduced to create suites. The attic space is also substantial and presents further opportunity for expansion of living space (subject to consent). The superior and refined features throughout Roundwood have been carefully maintained to ensure it remains a fine period residence of enormous character with high ceilings, tall sash windows, ornamental cornicing, ornate panelling and plasterwork, with original carved fireplaces in a number of rooms. GROUND FLOOR Roundwood is entered through a heavy front door which opens to the impressive reception hall which features the period staircase rising to the galleried first floor landing with a wonderful roof lantern above creating a naturally light space.
The reception rooms predominantly have southerly aspects and are located adjacent to each other, presenting as ideal for entertaining or informal family living. These are quite magnificent rooms: the drawing room boasts floor-to-ceiling bay windows offering panoramic views over the gardens, a period open fireplace and panelled walls. The adjacent library is a wonderfully formal room with a herringbone wood floor, oak panelled walls and ornate beams indicating the house s history. It too has an open fireplace and tall sash windows overlooking the gardens. The family room is a spacious and relaxed room with double aspect views and French doors to the sun terrace, whilst the dining room offers a refined space for dinner, with display cabinets and fitted alcoves forming a splendid backdrop to both informal and formal entertaining. All these rooms offer the opportunity to appreciate the glorious outlook and colour of the gardens.
The kitchen is a bright and warm room with high ceilings and a central island with a view over the frontage. The pale painted units are bespoke, fitted with integral appliances and topped with granite and there is space for a breakfast table. To one side of the kitchen is the office with fitted cupboards including a lockable fitted wine store. This area leads on to the more informal areas of the house, with the second staircase and the rear entrance.
FIRST FLOOR The sweeping staircase curves round to a half landing where it splits, leading to a lower landing with five bedrooms of varying sizes and two bathrooms. The upper landing is of a proportion befitting a house of this standing with the wonderful central roof lantern and a galleried walkway above providing attic access. This principal landing leads to four well-proportioned bedrooms including the 25 L-shaped master bedroom which enjoys a stunning outlook over the grounds and woodland beyond and benefits from a wealth of fitted wardrobes and a spacious en suite bathroom with both shower and bath. In addition there is a guest bedroom with en suite bathroom, fine panelled ceiling, fireplace and bay windows overlooking the gardens. There are two further double bedrooms all with fitted wardrobes and period fireplaces.
