A grand family home defined by exceptional scale

Set behind double electric gates on one of Sunninghill’s most desirable avenues, Braydene is a house characterised by its grand proportions. Built by Millgate Homes in 2012 and styled throughout by Hill House Interiors, it unfolds over almost 9,000 sq ft, combining classical architecture with discreet, modern technology. Inside, a sweeping staircase rises through a double-height hallway to the first-floor galleried landing. The ground floor is arranged for both family life and entertaining. At its heart is a vast kitchen, breakfast and family space with a central island, bespoke cabinetry, a 360-degree real fire and a full suite of Sub-Zero and integrated appliances. Bi-fold doors open to a covered loggia fitted with speakers, a pull-down projection screen and an outdoor kitchen for summer evenings. A formal dining room overlooks the lawn and woodland beyond, while the double-aspect sitting room connects to the rear terrace. A study, guest cloakroom and utility room complete this level. Upstairs, the principal suite spans an entire wing, with a walk-in dressing area, twin bathrooms and a private roof terrace. Three further bedroom suites occupy the first floor, while the top level offers two additional bedroom suites and a large cinema or playroom. A self-contained annexe sits above the triple garage, providing an ideal guest or staff apartment with its own kitchen and bathroom. Part of the garage has been transformed into a climate-controlled gym. Throughout, the house is equipped with a Crestron system, ground-source heat pump, underfloor heating and comprehensive security cameras. The landscaped gardens back onto protected woodland, creating a secluded backdrop. Sunninghill’s boutiques, cafés and restaurants are moments away, with Ascot, Sunningdale and Virginia Water close by. Esteemed schools including Eton College, Lambrook, St George’s, St Mary’s Ascot and Wellington College are all within easy reach, as are international schools TASIS and ACS Egham. Fast trains run from Ascot to London Waterloo, and the M3, M4, M25 and Heathrow Airport are all readily accessible.
