Description This significant residence was completed in 2010 adjoining the Fulmer Rise Estate, and adjacent to Black Park, a designated area of outstanding natural beauty. The present owners have invested in and developed the interior of the house, with the use of skilful design, and have also enhanced the beautifully landscaped gardens which surround the property. Offering accommodation of around 8000sqft, the level of quality and flexible living is immediately evident. The secondary self-contained accommodation offers various options for the potential purchaser. The main house is laid out over four floors, with the emphasis on luxurious entertaining with comfortable living, allowing the family to fully utilise each part of the house. Entrance to the house is gained via an impressive double height reception hall with a central oak staircase rising to the galleried landing. Spanning either side of the hall is the double aspect drawing room, dining room, study and cloakroom. The kitchen/ breakfast room has a central island, granite work surfaces, Miele oven, hob, steam oven, integrated coffee maker and wine cooler. This lies open to the adjacent family room and triple aspect orangery, which enjoys lovely views of the rear garden. The fully fitted utility room has plumbing for a washing machine, tumble drier and second fridge/freezer. Informal entertaining and exercise is focused around a lower ground floor which has its own separate entrance. The cinema, gym and luxury shower room can be found at this level, which benefits from significant natural light. 2
