Ridgemead Road, Englefield Green, Egham

A substantial six-bedroom Grade II listed family home set within beautiful gardens, extended from the original lodging quarters for a high profile 1930s country house, in a tucked away setting on one of West Surrey’s most exclusive roads

The property
East Lodge is a historic, Edwin Lutyens designed, Grade II listed detached house that offers secluded, light-filled, flexible accommodation arranged over two floors. It is coming to the market for the first time in more than 40 years, with a unique heritage having originally been commissioned for legendary 'Bentley Boy' Wolff Barnato in the 1930s.

On the ground floor, a welcoming reception hall leads to the spacious sitting room and interconnecting formal dining room, both of which feature mellow parquet flooring and clean, neutral styling. The sitting room, with its bay window overlooking the garden, and an open fireplace with a stone surround, combined with the dining room, provides excellent entertaining and relaxation space. A second reception hall provides further dining space and incorporates a split-level conservatory seating area with full-height windows looking out across the garden. The ground floor also includes a well-equipped kitchen with terracotta tiled flooring, fitted units and space for all the necessary appliances. There are two double bedrooms and a family bathroom on the ground level, while upstairs there are a further four well-presented bedrooms, including the generous principal bedroom with its en suite bathroom. The first floor also has a family bathroom, as well as a study and a stunning 27ft family room, with stripped wooden floorboards, a triple aspect and a feature fireplace.

Outside
At the front of the property, the gravel driveway provides parking space and access to further parking towards the rear, where the detached double garage is located. Set behind gates, the stunning gardens on both sides of the house include various established shrubs and hedging, all surrounded by mature woodland for a sense of peace and privacy. There are also patio areas for al fresco dining and a swimming pool, surrounded by a south-facing sun terrace, and a pond. Access to the house is only possible through a secluded driveway that makes the house part of an exclusive community.
