Entering the house on the ground floor, the front door opens onto a staircase hall. On one side is a lofty reception room with floor-to-ceiling windows, a fireplace and a French door leading through to the patio. On the other side is a generous open-plan kitchen with a breakfast bar island and dining area. More floor-to-ceiling windows and overhead skylights ensure this space is flooded with light throughout the day.

The basement provides a gym, a home office, a wine room with humidity and temperature control, two utility rooms, a bathroom and considerable storage space. There is air conditioning in the gym and the largest bedroom on the lower ground floor.

The first floor is entirely occupied by the principal bedroom suite. Along with the well-proportioned bedroom, this includes a pair of dressing rooms and a pair of bathrooms, as well as a beautiful ribbed roof.

The lower ground floor features three bedrooms. Two of these rooms have ensuite bathrooms and walk-in wardrobes, and all three have French doors leading onto the lower patio. In addition, the largest can be used as a living room or family room.

The property was recently built and sensitively designed to suit the surroundings. It is decorated in a contemporary style with outstanding attention to detail and sophisticated use of metal and wood materials. It includes underfloor heating.
