Behind private gates on Wambrook Close, Betula is a five-bedroom detached house with generous gardens, extensive entertaining spaces and individually commissioned interiors. Arranged over three floors connected by a lift, the house pairs Italian marble and bespoke joinery with a layout that gives family life, formal entertaining and leisure their own spaces. A broad gravel driveway leads to the red-brick façade, where projecting bays flank the central entrance. Double doors open into a marble-lined hall, with a sweeping staircase rising to a galleried landing. Glass balustrades and brass handrails complement the pale stone, while handcrafted Murano glass chandeliers and bespoke Italian fittings by Turri feature throughout the interiors. The principal reception room extends to more than 29 ft., with a fireplace, decorative cornicing and doors opening onto the rear terrace. A separate dining room occupies the bay at the front of the house, opposite a study. Beyond, a games room has its own bar with wine refrigeration, garden access and a lantern roof, while an adjoining gym provides a dedicated space for exercise. The kitchen and breakfast room is more than 31 ft. long, with a substantial island, pale cabinetry, dark worktops and integrated Miele and Gaggenau appliances. A walk-in pantry and separate utility room provide additional storage and preparation space. At the rear, a further reception room sits beneath a large lantern roof, with glazing on three sides and bi-folding doors to the garden. Four bedrooms occupy the first floor, each with extensive fitted cabinetry. The principal bedroom extends to more than 29 ft. and has a large ensuite bathroom with a bath, twin basins and a separate shower. A second bedroom also has an ensuite bathroom, while two further bathrooms serve the remaining bedrooms. Marble finishes, fitted dressing areas and individually designed joinery carry the decorative character of the reception rooms upstairs. The fifth bedroom occupies the second floor, where rooflights bring daylight into a generous room with space for seating alongside the sleeping area. A separate shower room and storage lead from the landing, and the lift serves this level as well as the floors below. Underfloor heating runs throughout the house. Outside, broad terraces provide space for dining and seating above the lawn, with balustrades framing views across the garden. Mature trees and established planting create a leafy boundary, while a detached garden room offers further space away from the main house. A mains-gas barbecue point and an irrigation system with private water storage support outdoor entertaining and garden maintenance. An integral double garage and gated driveway provide parking.
