The Ultimate Living Location
October 2009Octagon launch their latest modern mansion, Brackenmoor, in Wentworth, which is probably the ultimate UK living location. This private estate of large family homes is surrounded by beautiful greenbelt countryside, and features a world-renowned golf
course, where clubhouse facilities vies with sister establishments Annabels and The Ivy in London's
West End.
The five bedroom five bathroom 7.000 sq ft property, surrounded by lavishly landscaped gardens, comes with its own staff annexe, a stunning heated swimming pool and next year's must have, an outdoor fireplace, subtly floodlit for maximum effect at evening soirees.
"This is Octagon at its best," comments Colin Tutt, Octagon Chief Executive and Wentworth estate resident, "I am fortunate enough to already be a Wentworth resident, and can wholeheartedly endorse both the exquisite location and 'in-house' clubhouse facilities at the Golf Club, especially in tandem with a top of the range Octagon home."
Brackenmoor's invitation to luxury living starts at the property's entry gates, which are video and electronically controlled. These silently open onto a wide carriage driveway, which leads up to an integral triple garage and imposing main entrance to the house.
Once inside, the full impact of Octagon quality and style is apparent. The large marble tiled entrance hallway plays host to a magnificent circular sweep of stairs leading up to the first floor. There are no less than six ground floor reception rooms in which to retreat, before making the final exit upstairs to a baronial sized Master Suite.
Sociable families will enjoy mingling in the open plan space that incorporates a sleek alpi wood kitchen, informal dining area and adjoining family room. If the heat from the six ring Gaggenau hob gets too much, the less enthusiastic cooks can take a glass of Chablis from the temperature-controlled wine chiller before making a quick exit through one of two sets French doors onto the wide paved terrace of the secluded rear garden. Meanwhile in-house staff discreetly back up dinner arrangements before retiring to their own state of the art annexe, complete with its own kitchen, bathroom and living accommodation.
Upstairs, bathroom swank gets competitive, as all five double bedrooms have their own en-suite facilities. However the Master Suite plays the trump card with its ebony macassar wood encased freestanding bath and double basin units, serenely glowing like period patina alongside an outsize glass walled walk in shower.
On a more practical note, a NACOSS security system with automatic light sensors, bell and smoke alarms assures the Octagon Wentworth residents a good night's sleep; a good foundation for a possible18 holes of championship golf, if not the challenge of surviving the gourmet tasting menu in the castellated clubhouse restaurant.
Brackenmoor, on sale at £5.95m through appointed agents Barton Wyatt, is available for viewing by telephoning 01344 843000.
