In total, the house benefits from five well-appointed bathrooms.

Outside

Thoughtfully considered for entertaining friends and family at home, the gardens are wonderfully secluded and packed with exciting features to suit all occasions. Tucked away to the rear is the main outdoor living space: a secluded spot sheltered by the elevations of the house, it is at once fantastically private and tremendously well lit, with masses of paved stone terrace creating a light backdrop that supports a stunning rectangular pool added. The terrace can be accessed from several points around the house: the kitchen/breakfast room, the ground floor guest suite, and morning room. Separate from the main house in its own private wing, the entertainment room and gym, with its en-suite facilities, offers the opportunity to utilise as an annexe. A seating area, grounded by box topiary, provides ample room for relaxing, and leads to a covered outdoor kitchen with its own built-in pizza oven.

The gardens envelop the house, with lawns wrapping around three sides and including a mix of manicured lawn space and more traditional parkland, bordered by mature trees which create a natural privacy barrier. To the front, a driveway sweeps up to the house, with ample parking available directly in front of the original part of the house and separately adjacent to the new garage wing which has internal space for numerous cars and features motorised door shutters.
