What the Owner says:
It has been a delight and a privilege to live here and enjoy the privacy and security that the position of the property provides. It has been a great place for our family but they have now moved away so we are looking to start a new chapter in our lives. It is a unique property that incorporates the ultimate in upmarket design and technology and will be a wonderful home for someone who enjoys the country and the privacy.
