Live in England’s ‘Beverly Hills’

November 2011

Cobham, one of the UK’s top ten villages, and home to a never ending list of sports and screen legends, is where you will find two new glamorous Octagon detached properties. Aptly named Mansfield House and Hepburn House, the houses are on the market at £3.95m, and can be viewed through appointed agents Savills tel 01932 586 200.

Located on the exclusive Eaton Park Road, both homes come with 5 substantial bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, in 7,000 square feet of airy living space. Offering many benefits often attributed to a film star legend they each have classic exterior features, beautifully crafted detailing, incorporating graceful and timeless styling.  Safety and privacy are assured with their own secure video controlled entry gates, NACOSS approved alarm systems, and carefully screened landscaped gardens.

When temperatures plummet, the heated driveways leading to the integral garages will keep the most demanding of diva cars happy and contented.

Grand proportions and superior craftsmanship are easily recognised Octagon hallmarks, and their in-house design team, true to form, have incorporated  flamboyantly curved central staircases linking all three floors, and the option to play some serious table tennis or build kayaks in the exceptionally spacious heated 3 car garages, which also incorporate separate utility rooms, fully wired and plumbed with washer/dryers, and refuse stores, with plenty of room for a whole suite of recycling bins.

Each ground floor is devoted to family living, with both a stylish sitting room with wall-mounted fireplace and study leading off either side of the elegant stone tiled entrance hall. Moving through past the lavishly marble clad guest W.C., there are double doors opening onto a very spacious open plan living and dining room, which adjoins the equally large kitchen /TV den.

Kitchens, especially Octagon’s, tend to generate a high score on the wow factor meter, and this season’s latest model is no less than a SieMatic original, in sleek white high gloss lacquer with solid granite worktops. Fitted with a whole range of new appliances from Miele, the kitchen’s superior German engineering ensures that both units and appliances will operate quietly and perfectly.

Upstairs on the first floor, are four double bedrooms and three bathrooms, including two en suites.  All the bedrooms on the first floor come with bespoke fitted wardrobes. Stealing a large part of the limelight is the Master Suite, with a marble tiled bathroom, complete with full size bath, twin basins, copious hidden storage, WC, bidet, and walk through wet room with a choice of shower heads.    Added to which, along with a lengthy run of fitted wardrobes in the bedroom, there is a generously sized walk in wardrobe.

The second floor, currently arranged as a 33’ games room, and fifth double bedroom, with an adjoining separate shower room, lends itself perfectly to being utilised either as staff accommodation or a granny annexe.

The entire ground and first floors have underfloor heating, every room comes with programmable mood lighting.
