Hidden behind a breathtaking landscape of flowing water, bamboo groves and lush greenery, 5 Surrey Road, Aldgate offers an extraordinary lifestyle immersed in tranquillity, nature and timeless design. Inspired by the serenity of a traditional Japanese garden, this remarkable solid brick residence feels worlds away - a peaceful sanctuary where every window frames a living work of art.
As winter rains arrive, gentle creeks begin to flow throughout the grounds, creating a truly magical setting. Meandering water features, stone garden walls, tropical-inspired plantings and curated bamboo gardens wrap around the home, delivering an atmosphere that is both calming and unforgettable.
Arrival is nothing short of spectacular. Enter beneath the double carport where striking barn doors open into a versatile garage space, ideal as a workshop, studio or creative retreat. From here, a beautifully landscaped entry garden welcomes you with tranquil water features, Japanese-inspired stonework and a covered walkway leading to the front door.
Inside, warm terracotta tiles, soaring raked ceilings and expansive windows immediately draw your attention to the stunning gardens beyond. The original owner, Angus Foulds, was also a passionate admirer of Mediterranean design, reflected in the elegant arches framing the lounge and dining area, along with the beautiful cloister-style setting surrounding the gazebo. The open-plan living and dining area is flooded with natural light and centred around a fireplace. Gorgeous double doors connect to a second living space, flowing seamlessly onto a deck designed for quiet mornings, entertaining or simply soaking in the extraordinary surrounds.
Accommodation is flexible with four bedrooms, plus a study. Bedroom two includes built-in robes, while another bedroom features a built-in study desk, ideal for working or studying from home. Every room enjoys beautiful natural light and calming garden outlooks.
The master suite is a private retreat of its own, featuring a walk-in robe, bathroom underfloor heating, double shower and a luxurious spa bath positioned to overlook peaceful bamboo gardens - creating a spa-like experience within your own home.
