4 Bedroom House for sale in Claremont Upper

There's something about this particular patch of Upper Claremont – where the mountain is so close that you can see the tumbling of the waterfalls with the naked eye, as well as the forests and the ever-changing moods that not only the seasons but even the varying light of the day reveals. It’s also in a super-convenient yet quiet location – easy access to the M3, Cavendish Square a few minutes away – and of course leading schools extremely close by. The property is well maintained – with a new roof – and enjoys natural flow between the rooms and a number of extra features you don’t find in every property. There are three bedrooms (one downstairs) a dressing room, and the main bedroom has a full en-suite. There's also a family bathroom with shower and bath, and a separate loo/guest toilet. Direct access from the double garage is through the study. As you enter, the eye is drawn from the formal dining room and sun-room to the cosy TV room and then the double volumes of the formal living room and kitchen in a pleasing interplay of high square arches and chandeliers. The kitchen, with its beautiful granite surfaces and breathtaking mountain view, is plumbed for a dishwasher (laundry is downstairs) – and has extensive cupboarding and double ovens with gas hob. The conservatory is the owner’s favourite room – especially with Winter approaching, when it becomes a warm sun-trap on cold, sunny days. Mine is the double-volume main living room. It’s just a great space to be in – with two sets of glassed double doors opening to a full-length balcony. On either side of the closed combustion fireplace are large windows showcasing the spectacular mountain views. There is a large downstairs apartment with bedroom/living room with fireplace, en-suite bathroom and utility room/kitchen – which can be completely self-contained if necessary – but which is the perfect space for a hobby/art room, gym, kids’ rumpus room, home office or lettable suite that can be accessed separately from the garden via the downstairs patio. The swimming pool has spectacular mountain views, and is the perfect spot for sundowners followed by stargazing. In addition, there is also a separate apartment accessed through the garage side of the house, which can be a granny flat or let as an income-generating garden cottage. There is also a substantial rainwater storage system (10,000 litres) with pump and water purification (three-stage filter plus UV), two solar-assisted geysers, and a sophisticated solar power/backup system (fifteen panels, providing some protection against load shedding). 3D scan available upon request.
