Upon entering the house there is a vestibule with cloakroom and coat cupboard. A wonderful reception hall includes a fine staircase together with a fireplace providing a focal point. All the rooms have high ceilings and deep windows providing light-filled accommodation.
At the rear of the house the incredible kitchen/ breakfast/family room forms the hub of this exceptional family residence. The kitchen is bespoke fitted by Armstrong Jordan, with solid wood cabinetry, lined in walnut and finished in coloured tones, with contrasting featured areas of walnut. Miele appliances are anchored around a centrepiece substantial island with circular breakfast bar. Some of the appliances include an induction hob, integrated ovens, a microwave/oven, a steamer, a coffee machine, warming drawers, a beer/drinks/wine display cooler, larder fridge and dishwasher.
The room opens into a living/garden room with full-height glazing framing lovely views over the gardens and the golf course. Adjacent is a walk-in larder and fitted utility room housing two boilers.
