A little more….
The lower ground floor is truly enormous with impressively high ceilings – the kitchen/dining/reception room in itself measures nearly 2,000 sq.ft. and is the ultimate space perfect for both entertaining and family life. The kitchen has been fitted by hand with all joinery being bespoke. A real feature is the floor to ceiling cupboards can be used for climate-controlled wine storage. This magnificent kitchen boasts a Wolf oven and large Gaggenau fridge freezer. The room has been designed to surround the large courtyard garden with its multiple bi-folding doors. Which once opened up makes the garden feel part of this beautiful room.
Walking from the kitchen you enter a games room which would make an ideal playroom or gymnasium. Next door is a further shower room which doubles as a sauna and stream room. Also accessed from the corridor is a large home cinema room which has been wired for projector and screen.
Even more….

Lastly on the second floor you have two large double bedrooms. The first bedroom overlooks the Common and has fitted wardrobes.
