DESCRIPTION Once through the large electric private gates and across the landscaped front gardens and graveled driveway, the front door leads into the open three storey entrance hall with "Hog warts" style stair case leading to each floor. At the front of the house is the formal living room with large full height windows overlooking the front and a log burning stove fitted into a focal point fire place.

The ground floor study could have many uses including an extra bedroom if it was ever needed and in the corner of the room is a cupboard which houses the electronic command centre for the house.

By far the most impressive feature of this house is the open plan Kitchen/dining/family room that is located across the entire rear of the house. First is a formal dining area with enough space for a table for 10 or more this opens out into a wonderful kitchen that is fitted out in exquisite marble work surfaces and has a huge central island that extends down to a table for 6/8 people to dine at. Alongside this a large seating area with space and wiring for a television and log burning fire place set into a feature wall. The kitchen also has large opening doors to the garden and outside patio areas.

Also on the ground floor is a separate utility room, access to the large double garage and a gardeners/dog’s shower room.

On the first floor, there are 4 good size double bedrooms all with en-suite facilities (3 shower rooms and one wc) a family bathroom and a movie room/extra bedroom. This room has access through to the large roof garden that provides excellent seating and overlooks the rear garden. Also on this floor is a large open storage area which is a space for a lift to be added, the same space is located directly below in the dining area.

Finally, on the top floor is the master suite. This includes a large bedroom with an open plan dressing area, an en-suite that has a walk-in shower and free standing bath and a door through to the walk-in wardrobe, which provides an excellent amount of hanging space for clothes.

Outside the rear garden is laid mainly to lawn with some mature shrub boarders and large trees. There currently are some large sheds tucked up in one corner and there are two large patio areas providing excellent space for outside dining. One is located to the rear of the kitchen and the other is to one side with a door from the utility room.
