Discover Iconic Sir Herbert Baker Mastery in Prestigious Upper Kenilworth
Sunningdale Manor in Upper Kenilworth is an exceptional example of Sir Herbert Baker's early residential work. Built in 1893 during his stay in South Africa, the property reflects his distinctive architectural style, with the front portico highlighting his attention to proportion and detail.
Owned and carefully maintained by the same family for more than twenty years, this home combines period character with comfortable living. Inside, original teak floors, sash windows with shutters, and solid wooden doors with brass fittings speak to the home's heritage. High, painted ceilings, chandeliers, and a double-volume entrance with a brass chandelier create an atmosphere of quiet elegance.
The formal lounge features two Victorian fireplaces and opens onto a partially glass-enclosed patio overlooking the landscaped garden and saltwater pool. The dining room, complete with French doors, connects seamlessly to the patio—perfect for both relaxed and formal gatherings. The home also includes a carpeted family room, a well-equipped kitchen with quality appliances, and a paved courtyard shaded by mature trees.
Upstairs, three bedrooms and a nursery each include marble en-suite bathrooms. The main suite offers generous space, a sunny bay window, and far-reaching views. Separate guest wings with self-contained suites provide privacy and flexibility for visitors.
The property includes rainwater harvesting tanks for garden irrigation, along with an alarm system, electric fencing, and an intercom for security. Four double garages and additional parking offer practical convenience.
Sunningdale Manor presents a rare opportunity to own a home of architectural and historical significance—one that combines heritage, comfort, and timeless appeal.
