A spectacular entrance vestibule opens into a dramatic reception hall, where full-height ceilings, galleried landings and herringbone parquet flooring establish an immediate sense of scale and grandeur.
The principal reception room is a magnificent triple-aspect space centred around an imposing stone fireplace with inset log burner, whilst expansive glazing frames uninterrupted views across the landscaped gardens, ornamental lake and rolling Derbyshire countryside beyond. The adjoining drawing room and games lounge continue the theme of luxurious entertaining spaces, each individually designed with bespoke fitted cabinetry and elegant proportions.
A beautifully appointed family room provides a more intimate retreat, complete with handcrafted bookcases and a feature fireplace, whilst the bespoke home office enjoys fitted furniture and Crittall-style glazing.
At the heart of the home lies the extraordinary open-plan living kitchen and dining area - an exceptional architectural environment designed for both everyday family living and large-scale entertaining. The bespoke hand-painted kitchen incorporates extensive Corian preparation surfaces, a substantial island, integrated appliances, twin wine coolers, pantry storage and a statement Lacanche range cooker. Roof lanterns and expansive glazing flood the space with natural light, whilst perfectly framing the spectacular countryside setting.
