Wide bi-fold doors open onto an expansive terrace, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience that is ideal for hosting guests. Beyond the terrace is the covered decked outdoor kitchen and dining area, with lights and heaters, and under a separate structure, the covered hot tub.

A dedicated study provides an inspiring workspace with bespoke shelving, excellent storage, and a large picture window overlooking the garden through the conservatory.

Upstairs, the principal suite is nothing short of extraordinary.

The grounds, are just as impressive as the interior.

A detached garage complex offers plenty of space for four vehicles, each with new roller shutter doors.
