A Grand Ascot Estate - A Century of Charm, Family Legacy and Timeless Luxury
Standing proudly on an extraordinary 1,371sqm parcel, this Ascot estate is a residence of rare distinction. Built in 1921 on land originally owned by Edward Bennison, the home has been held by just two families in the last 50 years, reflecting a legacy of enduring quality, treasured memories and a place destined to be passed from one generation to the next.
Thoughtfully extended, renovated and refined, the residence honours its rich architectural heritage while embracing every comfort of contemporary living. Timeless character unfolds beside luxurious finishes and beautifully considered spaces, creating a house where grand entertaining, quiet moments and family life exist with effortless grace.
Designed for every occasion and season, the upper floor sees timber floors, ornate cornices, wainscoting and casement windows framed beneath soaring ceilings reaching 4.2 metres. A double gas fireplace warms the formal living and library, which extend to a sitting room and a spectacular informal living and dining domain, rising below cathedral ceilings and anchored by a bespoke Wyer + Craw and Miele kitchen.
Living extends downstairs with a spacious games lounge complete with a kitchenette, and a dedicated wellness retreat for recovery and wellbeing.
