Concealed behind a high wall in one of Epsoms most prestigious streets, a stately masonry villa (circa 1907) captivates with rich traditional character and immense charm. The sympathetically restored four-bedroom masterpiece, formerly owned by newsreader John Hawkesby and his family, is conveniently located around the corner from bustling Newmarket. Yet the lush, beautiful gardens in nearly 1000sqm grounds transport you to a serene escape that seems far from anywhere.

Formal and casual living areas offer fabulous entertaining options including a sun-kissed room that adjoins a private patio overlooking a heated pool and spa. Highlights of the main lounge are the exquisite moulded plastered ceiling and an ornate original fireplace. Elegant chandeliers enhance the atmosphere throughout. Cleverly concealed in the floor of the central hallway with its gracious plastered archways is a wine cellar. Central heating keeps winters warm and more original fireplaces add to the charm of many rooms as do the heirloom antiques that come with the home, passed down from owner to owner since it was built. Two bedrooms are on the ground floor and two upstairs with a choice of two gorgeous master suites plus a family bathroom. As well as a carport for four cars, ample secure off-street adds huge parking for guests.

Enjoy the lavish luxury lifestyle in double Grammar zones, a walk to private schools, the racecourse, Cornwall Park, and Greenlane Hospital. And for the canny buyer, you gain the potential investment benefit of being in the Terrace Housing & Apartment Building zone, promising capital gains in the future.
