To the front elevation, a music room offers a tranquil retreat or an elegant space for entertaining, complete with a feature fireplace, retractable screen and projector along with attractive glazing. Additionally, there is a versatile sitting room which could serve as a playroom or integral annexe, as it benefits from a shower room, plumbing for a kitchenette and independent access.

A sliding glass door opens, to look onto the exceptionally private rear garden, while a walk-in wardrobe and a large contemporary bathroom—with a tiled bath and separate walk-in shower—complete this luxurious retreat.
The lower ground floor, accessible from the front elevation, includes an integral triple garage offering ample secure parking and storage. This level also houses a study and a large storage room with access to the communications room.
Externally, the immaculately maintained grounds provide a stunning backdrop to this contemporary home. Hard landscaped entertainment areas are perfect for alfresco dining and social gatherings, with space for an outdoor kitchen and a large laid-to-lawn garden. The summer house currently functions as a fully equipped gymnasium, adding to the versatility of this exceptional property. The setting of this property offers complete privacy.
