Roof windows brighten the newest addition of Surrey ’ s private Wentworth Estate
The Wentworth Estate is a private area of properties and woodlands dating back for centuries , having been home to many historical and famous faces , the estate holds its fair share of history .
Client : EAB Homes Style : New build residential Location : Wentworth Estate , Surrey Build time : 18 months
The latest addition to the Wentworth Estate is a bespoke family home , designed and built by luxury homes specialist , EAB Homes . The property boasts 6,500 sq . ft of statement architecture , contemporary designs , and stunning traditional interiors .
Peter Warren , Director at EAB Homes has been following this project from the beginning , working closely with the now homeowners to deliver the family home they ’ d been dreaming of .
Peter comments : “ The aesthetics of the home were extremely important in this build . Within a location renowned for its neo-classical Georgian style architecture , this property pushes the boundary of design by using a sleek and contemporary mix of materials alongside traditional methods of construction .”
With no less than 56 corners of brickwork in total , the front of the property creates a stunning multifaceted entrance , but it ’ s the rear of the property that really brings the ‘ wow-factor ’. Three statement gables crown each segment of the back outer walls , encompassing floor-to-ceiling length windows on each floor that look out onto a large heated outdoor pool with a covered entertaining area , gas BBQ and cooking station , and a wide expanse of manicured lawn and planting areas .
Peter continues : “ As a family home built to be structurally as well as aesthetically timeless , it was important that we incorporated features that would ensure the property could stand the test of time , in which natural daylight and ventilation are two huge factors .
“ Ultra-slim profile aluminium windows , doors and Keylite roof windows feature on all aspects of the property , maximising the light that flows throughout the space . The use of Keylite roof windows allowed our architects to let loose on the property design , without having to worry about whether the build would get the ventilation it needs , or whether certain building regs would be covered .
“ You can find the roof windows in the master dressing room , cinema room and one of the second-floor bedrooms , but it ’ s in the master bedroom where they truly take centre stage and are used as a feature , as well as a necessity .
“ Keylite is the first-choice manufacturer for roof windows in many of our projects , including this property . The materials used and the fact the windows don ’ t come prefinished means our contractors can finish the windows in the exact style as the rest of the property to really tie everything in – this is just something you can ’ t do with most other manufacturers .”
The property ’ s modern architecture reflects the modern lifestyle of its homeowners , using a home automation system and electric Keylite roof windows and blinds , which allow the homeowners to open , close , vent and lock their windows and blinds at the click of a button .
The Wentworth Estate is well known for its stunning properties and peaceful surroundings , and this home is certainly no exception .
