Description - Understood to have been constructed in 1997/8, presenting whitened rendered elevations beneath a tiled roof, with double glazed windows and doors throughout, Bream House is a substantial detached residence, which exudes quality fittings throughout, and is very well presented, but would benefit from certain updating. The property boasts many notable features, ranging from the spacious main reception area overlooked by the galleried library / study above, also with south facing balcony to enjoy the best of the views, to the excellent indoor swimming pool, with exotic murals, sauna, shower room and garden room off. There is extensive use of oak throughout the property, including the staircase, gallery and quality doors. The accommodation is arranged on a reverse living basis in order that the main reception rooms enjoy the best of the views, and the bedrooms are therefore at the lower level, but have direct access, in most cases via a sun lounge, into the garden. There is a built in sound system, and underfloor heating with recent upgrade of the hot water tank. Externally there are ponds and waterfalls. The garden is arranged as a series of external 'rooms'. Most of the principal rooms enjoy the breath taking views. All in all, Bream House is totally unique, and one of those properties that really needs to be inspected internally to be fully appreciated.
