Key features and description
Connaught House is an exceptional newly built residence of remarkable scale and distinction, created by an award winning developer to the very highest standard. Designed with classic Georgian proportions and a striking red brick facade detailed with Portland stone, the home exudes timeless elegance from the moment you arrive. Behind its imposing exterior lies a sophisticated and luxurious interior where craftsmanship, technology, and comfort converge seamlessly. A vast galleried reception hall welcomes you in, featuring marble flooring, a sweeping staircase with oak handrails and metal balustrades, and bespoke coffered ceilings that continue throughout the principal living spaces. The proportions are impressive throughout, with ceiling heights of 3 metres in the basement and 2.8 metres across the ground and first floors, enhancing the sense of space and light. The reception rooms are beautifully arranged and perfectly suited for both grand-scale entertaining and relaxed day-to-day living. A bespoke bar and wine cellar create a dramatic focal point, while the extensive club and games room with its raised platform for a pool table, adds to the property's entertaining credentials. For more intimate gatherings, the TV snug and state-of-the-art cinema room offer a cosy retreat. The heart of the home is a showstopping kitchen by Extreme Design, fitted with high-gloss timber and laminate cabinetry, stone worktops, and premium Gaggenau appliances including four ovens, warming drawers, a five-ring gas hob, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, and a Quooker boiling water tap. An adjoining pantry/larder offers additional storage and preparation space, while a separate utility room houses Miele laundry appliances and an electrically controlled overhead dryer. Upstairs, the principal bedroom suite is a true sanctuary, complete with twin dressing rooms, a luxurious bathroom, and a private balcony that enjoys panoramic views across the rear garden and the 15th green of the Championship West Course. Four further bedroom suites offer elegant accommodation for family and guests. For staff or guests seeking independence, a well-appointed two-bedroom apartment with private entrance and roof terrace provides flexibility without compromise. The basement is dedicated to wellness and leisure, featuring a bespoke spa area with mosaic-tiled steam room and sauna, treatment rooms, and a fully equipped gym. Smart home technology is embedded throughout the property via a Control4 automation system with touch-screen panels and wall switches that control heating, air conditioning, lighting, video entry and the integrated Sonos AV system. The property is also designed with practical living in mind. A spacious boot room with custom cabinetry, a cinema room with surround sound, and ample storage areas, including a dedicated plant room and wine cellar, ensure every detail is considered. A separate pool house/guest suite offers additional two-bedroom accommodation, making this home ideal for multi-generational living or long-stay visitors. Outside, Connaught House is approached via electric wrought-iron gates with brick piers, opening onto a sweeping resin-bonded driveway edged with granite kerbs. Extensive garaging provides space for five vehicles, and the generous forecourt allows for additional parking. The beautifully landscaped, south-east facing gardens are laid mainly to lawn and designed to offer both privacy and tranquillity, with mature planting and sweeping views. The natural stone terrace is ideal for al fresco dining and entertaining, with direct access to the heated outdoor swimming pool and raised seating area. An integrated spa pool with non-slip tiles and a retractable roof ensures year-round enjoyment. In total, the plot extends to approximately 1.42 acres (0.57 hectares) and directly adjoins the 15th green of Wentworth's Championship West Course. With its fusion of classical architecture, contemporary technology, and luxurious living, Connaught House represents one of the most distinguished homes on the Wentworth Estate. It also benefits from an ICW 10-Year Warranty.
