Arranged over three floors, the accommodation extends to nearly 6000 square feet, the front door opening to an elegant reception hall with impressive staircase and the two main reception rooms leading off, each with large sash windows and stone fireplaces. Opening directly to the rear landscaped gardens, with an abundance of natural light, the 31 Bulthaup kitchen and living area at the heart of the ground floor has been designed and finished to an exacting standard with Gaggenau integrated appliances and Spanish limestone flooring. Adjoining the kitchen is an old dairy with flagstone floor, currently used as a boot room, along with a gym, cloakroom/wc and a walk-in pantry.
