Built in 1936 for Lady St Ledger Searle, this wonderful 5 bedroomed home has only known 4 owners.

It retains enormous charm and character and remains a perfect family home, set in a magical garden.


The home boasts 3 separate living rooms, 5 bedrooms, a lovely eat-in kitchen, walk-in pantry, largescullery/laundry room, a large study, staff accommodation, 3 car garaging, 3 storerooms and a quaint little potting shed.


The front entrance is charming and leads to a gleaming parquet-floored entrance hall. The drawing room is gracious and spacious, has a wonderful fireplace, beautiful, panelled ceilings, great natural light and double doors opening to a glass conservatory. The conservatory has floor to ceiling glass sliding doors that open to the garden and swimming pool. An additional vine-covered patio is an added bonus for outside entertaining. A separate dining room and a separate TV/reading room are both cosy and inviting and both rooms also have the wonderful, panelled ceilings. The TV room is equipped with a great fireplace and built-in bookcases. The study is spaciousand could be used as an extra (6th) bedroom if required.
The kitchen is well designed and has a walk-in pantry and a very large scullery/laundry room, as well as an eat-in kitchen that opens to the prettiest courtyard.


The master bedroom has a large en-suite bathroom and built-in cupboards, is sunny and warm and has a great bay window with a built-in seating area.


Three further downstairs bedrooms share a family bathroom (with bath and shower). The 5th bedroom is upstairs: it is a large room with an en-suite shower room and is accessed by a fabulous spiral staircase. This room has its own separate outside entrance and would be ideal for a teenager or university student; alternatively, it could be used as a work from home space, slightly separate from the main house.


The award-winning garden is an absolute delight with mature trees and shrubs and soft rolling lawns, and the pool is a great size for any family.
The house is very well located for the leading schools in this popular area in the Southern Suburbs, and is enviably positioned in a tree-lined street at the very top of Upper Kenilworth.
