At the heart of the home lies a meticulously designed kitchen/breakfast room, fitted to an exacting standard and supported by a substantial utility room with commercial-grade refrigeration. A walk-in larder further enhances the functionality of this exceptional space. The kitchen flows effortlessly into a light-filled breakfast area, where French doors open onto a sun-drenched terrace, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living.
A secondary staircase, discreetly positioned within the rear lobby, adds a sense of character and practicality, complete with a distinctive fireman’s pole.

Descending from the reception hall, a superb dual-aspect family room offers a relaxed yet luxurious retreat. Thoughtfully designed, the space features zoned lighting, electronically controlled blackout window treatments, and a charming wood-burning stove.
A true centrepiece of the room is the remarkable, electrically operated drinks bar, ingeniously crafted from a Rolls-Royce Corniche—an extraordinary feature that perfectly reflects the individuality and creativity of the home.

The magnificent principal suite is a true sanctuary, defined by its exceptional proportions and refined detailing. It features a luxurious en-suite bathroom and expansive “his and hers” dressing rooms. A private balcony provides a tranquil outlook over the grounds, while a discreet laundry chute adds a practical touch to this indulgent space.
