Built between 1822 and 1830 as a country residence for one of the founding partners of Fortnum & Mason it is positioned to take full advantage of far-reaching westerly views towards the Welsh hills, having a remarkable sense of privacy and connection with the landscape. The current owners have undertaken a significant programme of restoration and enhancement which has retained the architectural integrity of the building whilst enhancing and adapting it for the 21st century. In all, Shooters Hill provides over 8500 square feet of exceptional accommodation and outbuildings, set in a magical lakeside landscape with outdoor pool and tennis court. Shooters Hill Hall offers over 6331 sq ft of elegant reception rooms and family living space. Entered through an Ionic portico into an imposing hall, the ground floor provides a series of beautifully proportioned reception rooms, reflecting the scale and character expected of a fine Regency home featuring high ceilings, original cornicing, open fireplaces and wrap-around views of the lake, pool and gardens. The principal drawing room sits around an impressive early nineteenth-century fireplace with its original panelled surround, creating a wonderful focal point. A separate study provides an ideal home office or library, whilst a further sitting room offers a quiet retreat away from the principal reception spaces. The kitchen is one of the highlights of the house. The bespoke hand-painted shaker kitchen is centred around a substantial island with informal seating, whilst at the opposite end of the room there is ample space for a large dining table. An electric Aga, integrated appliances and stone-flagged flooring complete a room that combines character, practicality and scale, creating a true heart of the home for everyday family life and entertaining. Adjacent to the kitchen is a useful utility room with scope to create a substantial boot room. A newly created principal reception room provides a remarkable addition to the house. Extending to over 500 square feet and opening onto the terrace through two sets of French doors, it has been designed to create a seamless connection between the house, swimming pool and gardens beyond. The room is ready for the purchaser's final finishes to create the perfect entertaining and family space. The elegant staircase rises to the first floor, which provides versatile bedroom accommodation. The current principal bedroom enjoys views across the grounds over the lake and to the Welsh hills beyond and is complemented by a beautifully appointed new en-suite featuring Lusso fittings and a striking two-metre walk-in shower. Two further well-proportioned double bedrooms are served by a beautifully fitted family bathroom incorporating both a Lusso bath and separate shower. A new first-floor suite occupies a wonderful position overlooking the swimming pool and gardens. Prepared for completion, the room presents an exciting opportunity to create an exceptional principal suite, with ample space for a dressing room or sitting area and luxurious en-suite facilities, to a purchaser's requirements. A separate staircase, discreetly concealed behind a hidden door from the main hallway, leads to an additional bedroom suite with its own newly completed en-suite facilities. Offering excellent privacy within the principal accommodation, it is ideally suited to guests, older children or live-in support. In addition, the adjoining cottage wing provides two further bedrooms, each with en-suite facilities and independent living space. Offering a high degree of separation from the main house, it is ideally suited to, guests or multigenerational living. Shooters Hill Hall is approached through bespoke wrought-iron entrance gates and along a sweeping driveway which crosses the lake over a contemporary bridge, before arriving at the house and courtyard. Set within beautifully maintained grounds of over 7 acres, Shooters Hill enjoys a wonderful balance of formal gardens, open lawns and mature planting, creating a setting that is both private and picturesque. The ornamental lake forms a central feature of the grounds. Beautifully restored original Regency gates lead from the terraces surrounding the house to the lawns and lakeside walks beyond, allowing easy access from the house to the water's edge. A striking water sculpture by renowned sculptor Giles Rayner appears to float in the centre of the lake, creating an impressive focal point. Indigenous planting and extensive landscaping have enhanced both the beauty and biodiversity of the estate, with trees, shrubs and hedging plants introduced throughout the grounds, including cherry, oak, lime, rowan, hornbeam, birch and beech. Broad lawns sweep away from the rear and side of the house towards the lake and surrounding countryside and frame a heated swimming pool with steel fountains. Adjacent to the pool, a newly constructed pavilion is ready for purchaser’s finishes, offering excellent potential for leisure, changing and entertaining. Above this is an artificial grass tennis court. The substantial courtyard buildings and pool pavilion present a rare opportunity for a purchaser to finish to their own specifications - to create accommodation and leisure facilities tailored entirely to their own lifestyle. The above the garages offer potential to include a gymnasium, home office, studio, further guest accommodation or independent living, subject to a purchaser's requirements.
