Everywhere you look when you’re in this extraordinary 1,275 m2 estate, there is evidence of master craftsmen and architects. Their sophisticated eye has created a home that exudes a new baseline of comfort in a world class setting.

The overriding design influence is the occupant – a need for creature comforts as well as an attraction to beauty. And beauty abounds here – pavilions are linked by covered walkways, surrounded by lush gardens. References to the home’s history have been lovingly retained and reinvented. The best fixtures and fittings sourced from around the world.

French doors and bi-folds transition to northern facing covered terraces all on ground level while indoor and outdoor living spaces abound with numerous private sitting areas and water features. Dramatic lighting systems create a pool area reminiscent of a luxury European villa. You’ll feel like you’re on holiday when relaxing in your pool-house, complete with kitchenette and living space.

The main kitchen with its warm timber features and cool stone bench tops is the hub of the home; while the butler’s kitchen adjacent provides extra bench space and cooking capacity when catering to larger groups.

Your master suite, with its sunken Japanese spa bath, fireplace, sandstone feature wall and Poliform dressing room provides a retreat for parents. Here you’ll have direct access to the 25 metre pool through your own private courtyard. Just roll out of bed to do your laps. Or not. Lie in bed and gaze at your beautiful surroundings.

There are guest quarters as well as other generously sized bedrooms located on the upper level of the residence with their own ensuites. Ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning and smart house technology will keep you comfortable all year round.

The children are catered for with their own dedicated playground and numerous playrooms that engender a real kids club.

For the male enthusiast there is garaging for four vehicles, wine cellar and walk in cold room.

A home worthy of any international design magazine, 104 Alexandra Rd Ascot has far too many features to list here. For the discerning purchaser of fine property, inspection is a must.
