Daylsford House

This modest period property, which had been left un-modernised, has been transformed into a stunning contemporary home thanks to the design by Concept Eight Architects. Sitting on a gated private road off St George’s Hill estate, Weybridge, this house now suits the needs of dynamic family life, which is exactly what the homeowners were looking for.

The dramatic entrance hall reaches up across two storeys, with a first floor library overlooking the ground level. The rooms are separated, with formal hosting areas to the left and the familial hub to the right.

The hallway forms the central spine of the dwelling. Opening onto the social kitchen, the newly landscaped garden is beautifully framed beyond a wide set of bifold doors as soon as you enter the house.

The open-plan culinary zone has been designed around a focal island, with huge windows and a glazed entrance flooding the space with natural light. Upstairs, the master suite has been reworked to include a walkin wardrobe and open shower ensuite. Four more bedrooms complete this level, with a Jack-and-jill ensuite connecting the children’s rooms. The family bathroom accommodates a feature tub and shower.
