Description
Set within mature, landscaped grounds, Walton House is approached via a tree-lined, electric-gated sweeping driveway, offering both privacy and grandeur. Extending to over 5,600 sq ft, the accommodation features four elegant reception rooms, five principal bedrooms with a large dressing room, two additional loft rooms, and four bath/shower rooms. The property also includes cellars and outbuildings currently arranged as a gym and games room.
Walton House beautifully combines period charm with modern luxury, showcasing exquisite ornamental plasterwork, sash windows, and other original features throughout. Sympathetically improved by the current owner, the home now offers flexible family living enhanced by high-end, interior-designed finishes and contemporary conveniences throughout.
**
A grand portico entrance opens into a welcoming reception hall, setting the tone with high ceilings, ornate plasterwork, and original detailing throughout.
To the right, the drawing room is a truly impressive entertaining space, bathed in natural light from twin sash windows and offering elegant proportions ideal for gatherings or formal occasions.
Across the hall, the sitting room provides a more relaxed atmosphere with a feature log burner, creating a warm and inviting heart to the home - perfect for family evenings or quiet retreats.
The dining room, positioned to the rear, is equally generous and enjoys garden views year-round.
Often the centre-piece of any home is the Tom Howley-designed kitchen/breakfast room, beautifully fitted with bespoke cabinetry, Aga, and high-end integrated appliances. This space blends traditional craftsmanship with modern functionality and incorporates a breakfast area ideal for family dining.
Adjacent to the kitchen, a study offers an excellent home-working environment, while a downstairs shower room and large utility/laundry complete the ground floor accommodation.
A short walk across the courtyard leads to the outbuildings, currently arranged as a gym and games room, offering flexibility for leisure and hobbies.
**
The grand staircase rises to a spacious landing, giving access to five bedrooms to the first floor.
The principal suite enjoys superb proportions with dual-aspect windows, a luxurious en suite shower room, and an adjoining dressing room which was once a further bedroom.
Four further bedrooms, all generous in size, share two beautifully fitted bathrooms with a separate WC.
The upper level includes two loft rooms, perfect as additional guest rooms, a playroom, or hobby spaces, along with useful eaves storage.
The cellar provides two large versatile chambers which could be converted to further accommodation or used as storage.
Approached via a tree-lined, electric-gated sweeping driveway, Walton House offers both grandeur and privacy. The beautifully landscaped gardens are mainly laid to lawn with mature trees and planting, including a topiary garden and Buxus edged David Austin rose beds, creating a tranquil setting that complements the property's period elegance. A car port provides covered parking.

Rent-driven metrics
Based on OpenRent comparables.
- Rent ratio — Monthly rent ÷ purchase price (1% rule). 1%+ = strong, 0.8–1% = okay, <0.8% = weak for cashflow.
- Max investor price — Rent ÷ 0.8%; the price at which rent would be 0.8% of price (Stoke-style target).
- Target investor price — Rent ÷ 1%; the price at which rent would be 1% of price (strong cashflow band).
- Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
- Cost-to-rent — Price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables). Under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed.
- Cashflow — Rent minus mortgage, 10% maintenance, £25/mo compliance. Assumes 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term.
- ROI — Annual profit ÷ cash in (deposit + 4% purchase costs).
