Every inch of this property exudes luxury, with no expense spared in its construction.

Come on in…

Make your way to the entrance and open the front door to discover the luxurious home beyond.

The ceiling towers above with full-height glazing fill the space with natural light that bounces bright reflections from the glass balustrade and polished Italian porcelain floor tiles. The stairs rise up to the galleried landing with inset lighting, and a bespoke statement chandelier catches the eye of any visitor to the home.

The hallway opens ahead of you with doors leading to the various ground-floor rooms, highlighting the seamless flow between the space and making it perfect for entertaining.

The WC is dark and atmospheric, fully tiled in Versace tiles with LED lighting and speakers that play music as you enter - quite a talking point.

Living spaces…

Double doors from the hall open into the family kitchen, the real hub of the home. Light floods the space from the tall windows and bifold doors, and there is a second bespoke chandelier dangling majestically above the sizeable dining area. High-quality kitchen units are fitted to one side of the room and are topped by granite worktops with a luxurious touch from the metallic copper-coloured accents. The horseshoe island takes centre stage, creating a social spot to prepare dinner whilst friends and family perch on the stools to chat. Smeg appliances are built-in and include an extracting hob, two ovens and a microwave oven. There is also a pop-up socket on the island for convenience, and the double sink unit is fitted with an incinerator.

The utility room has cream-coloured units, space for the washing machine and tumble dryer, and a door leading out to the gardens.

From the kitchen, a pocket sliding door leads into the sitting room, a sophisticated space perfect for sitting back and relaxing in the evenings. Ideal when you are entertaining to open the doors and flow freely through the room, but if you are looking for a cosy evening, simply close off those doors and snuggle up on the sofa. Make your way to the family room, a magnificent curved space with doors leading out to the rear garden and the covered outdoor kitchen space. Open all doors for seamless use of the space when hosting parties to remember and enjoy BBQ cooking in all weathers.

Ground floor bedroom…

There is an en suite bedroom on this floor, perfect if you need ground-floor living or for use as a guest bedroom.

The en suite has a large walk-in shower, WC and wash hand basin.

First floor…

On the first floor, there are four beautiful bedrooms. At the rear is the fourth bedroom with views over the gardens and built-in wardrobes. The second bedroom sits above the family room, with the same delightful curved wall with full-length windows. This room has an en suite shower room with a walk-in shower, wash hand basin and WC with copper-coloured accent fittings.

To the front of the property is a spacious bedroom with French doors leading out onto a covered balcony, meaning you can enjoy it in all weather.

Finally, the master bedroom suite. A large room with doors leading out to a covered balcony. Enjoy peace and calm on your balcony as you watch the sun setting, maybe even with a crisp glass of wine on a summer's evening.

The en suite is show-stopping and would rival any luxury hotel. A unique black suite made up of his and hers wash hand basins and a WC with inset ceiling lights and a large mirror. The substantial double shower allows access from either side.

Bathroom…

The house bathroom has a large whirlpool bath for relaxing soaks after a busy day. There is also a large wash hand basin and WC. Underfloor heating gives that extra luxury when your feet step out onto the wonderfully warm tiles.

Studio…

From the galleried landing, climb the stairs to the second floor, where you will find a large studio currently used as a gym. Large bifold windows open entirely to give access out onto the roof. Add decking and balustrades to create your own roof terrace if desired.

"The view over the rooftops from the studio is fantastic."

Outside…

The gardens are fully landscaped with astroturf in the centre and pristine paving around the edging. There is a glorious outdoor seating area with patio heating to enjoy al fresco lunches, and the covered outdoor kitchen awaits BBQs for the whole family.

Push back the doors from the kitchen and family room and allow the fresh breeze to circulate through the home as your guests spill out into the gardens at parties.
