The living room continues the theme of understated luxury, featuring exposed beams that subtly delineate a cosy recess ideal for use as a library or reading nook. Additional accommodation includes multiple cloakrooms, bathrooms, and contemporary en suites, each fitted with designer sanitary ware and thermostatically controlled showers.

The bedroom accommodation is thoughtfully arranged across the upper floors, offering six beautifully proportioned bedrooms with scope to create up to three additional rooms if required.

The remaining bedrooms are equally well considered, each enjoying excellent natural light, attractive outlooks, and access to high‐quality en‐suite or nearby bathroom facilities.

A notable feature of this home is its versatile basement, comprising two substantial rooms that can be adapted for a variety of uses such as a gym, office, den, or home cinema.

Externally, the property is equally impressive.
