Audley House represents one of Hutton Mount's most desirable homes. A timeless and carefully considered bespoke residence within this coveted private estate, fastidiously designed to create a seamless living experience, with entertainment at its very core, and set on an unoverlooked plot of 0.5 acres. Designed by award winning architects Cowper Griffith, this expansive home of over 7,000 sq ft represents the finest details of the prized Edwardian era, crafted from selected materials to create a sympathetic, contemporary take on this wonderful era of housebuilding. As the saying goes, 'you can't build an old home', yet Audley House proves otherwise...

The beautifully proportioned design is apparent at every turn. A subtle feeling of space permeates the home, with high ceilings, soft curving details, and voluminous yet homely reception & central areas. Tall sash windows by Mumford & Wood enhance each space, providing glorious natural light throughout the individual but well connected spaces. Traditional living sits atop a luxurious basement, featuring a 500-bottle wine room, high-end acoustically balanced cinema room, and a sumptuous bar area. This is the ultimate social space to while away the hours with friends and family. From a technology & convenience perspective, all modern systems are catered for, including Control 4, bespoke lighting controlled by Rako, ceiling speakers to principal areas, underfloor heating to all floors, and an efficient heat recovery system to ensure clean air and a consistent temperature throughout the property.

Architectural details include soft red bricks made & chosen specifically for this build, laid in a mix of English & Flemish bonds, with a matching string course at mid-height. Furthermore, exposed rafters and handmade clay roof tiles crown the home beautifully, whilst concrete floors to all levels ensures a solidity that is unsurpassed. The Edwardian era presented grand yet subtle styling cues, which have been recreated here perfectly. Internally, the specification is equally timeless, with a blend of limestone and wide-plank engineered flooring providing warmth, style and durability. A kitchen by Davonport with Gaggenau appliances is yet a further expression of classic, quality design; the centrepiece to a spacious family living space, with an adjoining lounge with log burning stove. Practicality formed a large part of the design brief, from ensuring that all spaces flowed well, and that day-to-day living was fully considered, as well as ease of maintenance. For example, there is an abundance of storage throughout the property, and externally, the garden features an evergreen planting design, a wirelessly controlled irrigation system, and convenient access to the basement/lower ground floor. Furthermore, a limestone patio provides an enjoyable outdoor entertaining area, in addition to a powder coated aluminium pergola with composite decking area to the rear of the garden. In Audley House you will find a painstakingly designed home of glorious proportions, set within a gated, private & unoverlooked plot in this prime address, all within easy walking distance of Shenfield station and Broadway.
