Inside a £7,500,000 Modern Country Mansion with Beautiful Outdoor Swimming Pool

Hello everyone, today you're joining me in one of Surrey's most exclusive areas, the Crown Estate in Ockshott, where privacy, elegance and luxury converges. Behind these gates lies Avondale. It's not just a home, it's a statement and it's been meticulously designed to offer not just space but an experience. A place where high ceilings meets high standards and I cannot wait to show you around, so get ready as we explore every inch of this incredible property. I'm Jasmine and you're watching The Luxury Home Show. We're going to kickstart the tour off here at the front where we have these electric gates accessing the long sweeping driveway. At the end we have a triple car garage and it's actually been measured, it can fit three large Bentleys inside it. It's got the roller top garage doors as well to save space but if you actually look at the house, how incredible. This is definitely the best spot to get a glance at that facade. Now I know what you're looking at because they're pretty hard to miss. Let's go take a closer look at those columns. Now talk about this for a statement entrance. We have two huge columns on either side of me framing the entrance. They even span pretty much all the way to the top of the house. They must be about four times the height of me. They're absolutely insane and add that real kind of period charm to what is quite a new house. Now before we head inside, we do have 12,500 square foot to explore and the property is listed for £7.95 million with fine and country, so for any more details you can find that down in the description below. But without further ado, let's head in. So here we are in the entrance hall. Now the first thing you'll definitely notice is this incredible spiral staircase. I mean check it out. That is so stunning. It really is a showpiece for the home, especially as soon as you walk in. But here in the entrance hall we have this gorgeous Italian imported stone tiles and they're really nice and glossy. The ceiling heights throughout here and the ground floor are three meters and when we walk into the rooms you'll notice on some of the doors you just see how high they are and it's absolutely crazy. We have a great deal of natural light flooding into here too just so you can get your bearings. We have the dining room over there, kitchen, kind of like a games room snug on this side. But first of all I'm going to take you in to the study which is just off the front door. So stepping into this room we have some really nice natural light with the sash windows at the front and I also really love this kind of false ceiling we have going on. You can see we've got the gorgeous cornicing up there adding that elegant touch to the room and it's worth noting that this house has been staged by Birkbeck Interiors and Tom and I have toured quite a few of their projects. We've done one recently in London which was a gorgeous penthouse and we really love how they just kind of make it a bit more fun. It's not too minimal, they mix textures and colours really well without it being too overbearing and they've done that perfectly throughout this house. But this is such a great spot to get some work done. I can imagine just sitting here doing some work on my brand new Asus ZenBook and that brings me nicely onto the sponsor of today's video. We're very excited to be working with Asus for the launch of their brand new ZenBook S16, a sleek but sophisticated companion for your daily life. This laptop has been completely redesigned from the inside out. The whizzes over at Asus have created a new high-tech ceramic called Ceraluminum, a hardy ceramic that allows for a minimal but strong design. All whilst weighing only 1.5kg it's seriously light and at 1.1 centimetre thin it's ideal for use on the go. With long-lasting battery life and fast charging you'll never need to work in one spot for too long. Where the laptop really shines for me is the AI experience. So whether you're on a zoom call with crystal clear quality, in a noisy cafe watching videos whilst your subtitles auto-generate in real time or using the AI assistant to summarize those wordy paragraphs so you can fly through your work much faster. With the ZenBook S16 you don't even need a home cinema. With a 3k Asus Lumina OLED screen and six speakers from Dolby Atmos and Harman Kardon the immersive sound and vision gives you the full cinema experience. But if you need to keep a low profile and work quietly and efficiently, you can. Oh hey Jas. Oh hi. Didn't even hear you in here. It's the quiet ambient cooling. I can work from anywhere. The laptops come in two colours. Zamiya grey influenced by the Flish cliffs in Spain and then Scandinavian white is inspired by the arctic sun on snow. Hues found in nature give it neutrality and a feeling of calm. The design alone makes it the perfect home accessory. Make sure to check out our description box for any more information on the ZenBook S16. Thanks again to Asus for sponsoring this video and let's carry on with the tour. Okay so out of the study we're going to head across and into our kitchen. Now when we enter this space we again have double doors. I'm going to pause here because I want to show you the height of these doors. Oh check that out. Really emphasizing that three meter ceiling height hey. But come on in. Now I absolutely love the colour palette throughout here. It's very warm and neutral. We've got the dark brown wooden cabinetry and then this lighter neutral shade on top of the island and the surfaces. Now interestingly enough we have our sink on the island and our gas hob over on the side. I know sometimes people like to switch that up so which you prefer? Would you prefer to have the gas hob on the island and the sink over here? Let us know down in the comments and then obviously they have a gas hob and you know me. Love it. We have integrated Gaggenau appliances so if I come over this side you can see we've got our oven, microwave oven etc and then so much storage. This is our double fridge and freezer but you can see we've got storage all the way up there as well really making use of these tall ceilings. Same on this side and then my favourite part is definitely this bookmatched marble. We actually have four slabs of it here and it's creating a really nice pattern in the middle. It's almost like a piece of artwork in itself just being there on the wall it really is a centre point to the kitchen. We've got beautiful pendant lights hanging above the central island and as you can tell just so much space. Through there we actually have our utility room so it's got like your laundry facilities, washing machine, dryer also like more surface space that's really handy to have just off of the kitchen. Now we're going to come over this way we have lots of different seating arrangements in here as we've got a kind of informal dining table and oh my gosh look at these chairs. Guys I'm in boucle heaven today by the way. As we go through the house you'll notice what I mean but starting here love them and then we do have our bath stools on this side. They're very cosy aren't they? Very elegant bath stools. Oh I love them. I like the brass features on the bottom as well but if we come behind here we've kind of got a wall like a divide and then on the other side another little snug section which is nice. There's kind of different things you could do this space maybe it could be another dining area that's just off the kitchen but it feels quite cosy in here as it is and I love that we've got access out to the garden. We've got loads of gorgeous doors with glass letting all that light flood on in and then as we head around this corner we come to my favourite part of the whole house which is the swimming pool but before we head in there I've just got to point out the ceiling heights again and also the cornicing and this beautiful curved wall. It's really the modernist of this section I suppose to have that and even on this side with the three windows but this is one of my favourite pools I have ever seen okay. Well what do you think? Let us know down in the comments immediate reaction. Ah it's so incredible for one the space is absolutely huge the pool so crisp and I love the fact that we've got these dark blue mosaic tiles really contrasting with kind of the colours in here you know like the muted purple lilac we've got on the wall everything works together really nicely and you can see the ceiling lights in here have just increased even more so you've got a vaulted ceiling a really interesting dome ceiling as well on that end with the bay windows and you've even got a jacuzzi. Let's do a little spin wow I can't get over this space it's so beautiful the symmetry in here and then like I said about being in boucle heaven these are the best armchairs I've ever seen in my life. I might just stay in this room forever don't know about you guys but you would not find me and then I love how we've got these kind of travertine tiles on this wall as well adding to that zen spa feel that you kind of really accomplish in here especially with this down lighting as well and the up lighting now up there you can see we have some windows and that actually leads into a gym space which we'll check out very soon but I like how that overlooks this kind of leisure suite as well and we just have to have maybe a closer look at this hot tub because I love it how it's sunken into the floor we haven't got the bubbles on right now because it's quite noisy but yeah this is incredible and it gets even better follow me. So through this door here we actually have our spa facilities so we've got dual showers here and this is insane so we've got all these small mosaic tiles all hand placed onto this wall I love how it curves it really gives you that moody vibe in here leads into our dual showers like I said and then around the corner we have our steam room same tiles in here but the whole thing's obviously been tiled a really good addition to have like in your spa I can imagine in the winter hopping in there staying extra warm and then yeah we just have like a little cozy seating area here as well and then just around the corner I forgot to point out as I came in because I was so excited we've got our basin here and then just okay so just while we're here I'll point it out so this is a two-story plant room lots of tech in this house obviously insulation and all that and then we have a secondary staircase just here that leads up to the first floor and then we also have side access to the property there but let's head back into the entrance hall because there's so many more rooms I want to show you. Now before I take you over to the other side of the house we just have to talk about the staircase for another moment because it is just unreal so the main structure is actually made out of steel but when they added the stone onto it they had to reinforce the steel because it was just so heavy so they had to make the staircase even stronger as you can see you need it because it is just literally hanging in there another thing I absolutely love about it is the glass the inside balustrade especially is a good example of this because of how much it curves and each panel of glass had to be bespoke made just for this staircase you know hitting the right angles and everything so really good testament to the attention to detail on the staircase and the addition of the dark wood handrails I think just brings everything together and makes it look perfect if Chanel was to have a staircase I can imagine it looking something a little bit like this maybe in their big office and then I also love the pendant lights that hang down the kind of carrying on that curved motif but I actually want to take you over there and show you the dining room so follow me another great advantage of having the glass on the staircase is that the light can just flood on through say if it was plaster I think the whole space would feel a lot darker but this is our dining table it's a 12 seats here at the moment but you could definitely fit a bigger one in if you needed it and I love this section here where we've got this kind of like a bay section with the curves you've got doors leading out into the garden and I love the detail on the corner sinks throughout here it's just so elegant and we've even got speakers in the ceiling love the light hanging up above the table as well it's worth noting we do have ac and underfloor heating which is all controlled by separate zones now this is kind of like a little bar section here so you've got a little table in the middle but let me take you over here this is another one of my favorite spots and there's a lot of attention to detail here for one this marble is absolutely incredible great choice and then I also love these cupboards they've got the dark tint on them but they're also very reflective and you can just about see the glasses inside and how they're lit up which I really like now just for a point of reference these double doors here lead into the hallway we're actually going to head over this side where we have a kind of more formal reception room now the ceiling in here is nothing short of amazing we have a vaulted ceiling and it's almost double the height as all the other rooms on the ground floor and it's just a statement piece again and we've got the two chandeliers hanging down it just creates such a sense of like opulence and grandeur in here which I think is really fitting for a formal sitting room we've got our two sofas opposite each other and then also two doors leading out to the garden it's worth noting we've got a rug in here because throughout this whole space we've had this really nice switch to a like a dark brown hardwood flooring and I think it does create a bit more of an intimate and warmth throughout the spaces that I can imagine you'd be using more for interactions for example in the entrance hall and in the kitchen you have that stone tiles but in here where you'd be chilling out it's a lot more warm but through here we have our first carpeted room which is the games room now this room is super snug and as you can tell I'm gravitating towards this sofa because it's beautiful and it's boucle another one of my favorite pieces in here and then behind we have a pool table but like I said this is more of a more intimate room it's a bit more cozy I think the size of it as well is smaller but also because it's shut off it's not open plan does make it feel that more intimate I can imagine having a huge tv or maybe a projector on that back wall we do have the recessed lighting as well adding that ambience and lots of nice bespoke shelving behind I think that's actually us done on the ground floor so should we head up and check out the first floor I think so let's go coming up onto the first floor the flooring from the hallway downstairs continues up here and I love the high gloss of it really bounces off all the different lights now up here we do have six bedrooms the principal suite just to my left is furnished however the others are not over on this side we have two bedrooms both of which have en-suites and face the front of the property but I want to take you into this room first because it is just incredible so we actually have two access points I'm going to take you through into this one which leads into this little dressing section there's a nice desk space there for you to do your makeup the bedroom itself is so bright and airy like I said they really prioritized spaciousness throughout the design of this house and it's so apparent in here look at the ceilings again we have that vaulted style and we're actually above the dining area so we have that same bay window shape now the best thing about this bedroom is that we have his and hers wardrobes and en-suites so before we go into too much detail in here I really want to show you those because it's always some of my favorite parts so coming to this side this is the well it could be either but at the moment is set up as his dressing room so we have lots of nice bespoke storage in that dark wood again and then through here we have the en-suite so we actually have this frosted glass pocket door that leads into the space this is our second access point so you can go out into the hallway for reference there's a staircase here we go around the corner we have our shower and pretty much everything we need we've got a very like high glossy gray tile in here it's a lot more moody and then the shower is quite huge and it tucks around the corner then you've got a window obviously for light but let's head on back out because before we do head across there I do want to point this out because I love this little seating section so much you've got access out to a balcony which I again just think is such a great addition a lot of houses like this we go to they don't actually have a balcony it's maybe like a Juliet balcony so that's a great little touch and I also love how the curtain traps are hidden by the lowered corners just the little details that make all the difference got another sofa area here looking out through the slash windows and the carpet in here is so lush really makes it feel super super cozy AC in here again come on through this is absolutely incredible you know it's a good dressing room if it has an island in the middle which is exactly what this does staying with the same theme though with the wood but this one obviously just has a lot more storage options and trust me when I tell you I would fill this space I could like oh look at that and it still smells brand new which is great and you even have some nice storage options as well I'm just gonna open these up for you follow me down this corridor it's quite interesting so through here we have a secure room you've even got a keypad so if all your valuables are safe etc can go in there now this ensuite is the complete opposite to the other side it's so light and bright and airy you've got the white marble tiles everywhere we've even got a lovely freestanding bath on that side basin and toilet this way and then a shower in the corner what I also love is just the fact that we have a balcony so imagine you've just got out of the shower you've got your fluffy robe on and you can get out there and just enjoy a morning cup of coffee but come on we're gonna head back out because there's another door at the end of the corridor we do have a lock on this door so you can completely shut this section off from the rest so this was the secondary staircase I told you about when we were downstairs and then over on this side it leads in to drumroll our home gym so this is the room if I come over here you can see we've got windows down to the pool so you've got a lovely view over there I think it's the perfect spot for a gym but you could have it maybe as a bar so the flooring is reinforced you can have the weights in here or a bar whichever you prefer we've got skylights in here the vellux window just keeping it really bright and yeah perfect spot we've even got the change in flooring in here just to separate the space off nicely but follow me back out so through here we actually have a non-furnished room I'll give you a quick glance here we go we've got an en suite around the corner but this would actually be really good as say like a live-in nanny or maybe a cleaner just because they do have that secondary access and you can shut this wing off from the rest of the house and just you can get your bearings we're coming out now into the main hallway we have another unfurnished bedroom through here let's check it out they're all very great sizes and they feel a bit more intimate but the ceilings are still only just under three meters through here we have our en suite again sticking with that grey theme in here with the shiny marble tiles which I absolutely love and then we have our basin and this one even has its own bath so for reference and then you come out of that room we have another unfurnished bedroom there but this one does have some really nice inbuilt storage and another ensuite and then as you can see we're by our staircase again so that is the tour of the house complete but it's now time to head in the garden and show you out there so stepping out into the garden now from the dining area section we have just under an acre on the plot here and it's covered with loads of lovely shrubbery we've got mature trees which just makes the plot so private and a great deal of lawn space too if we look at the back of the house I love the contrast between the redbrook and the slate roof and then you've got all these doors accessing the garden from the ground floor just on that side it leads out from the pool house so imagine having those open in the summer and just splashing around in there and then coming out to sunbathe it would be absolutely amazing now remember the home is listed for sale with Finding Country so for
