The House
Through the oak front doors is a wide reception hall with the open tread stairs and the kitchen/breakfast room straight ahead, and the living room to the left. Straightaway you’ll get the vibe; this is a house that’s uber cool, sleek and sophisticated, light and airy. Rooms connect seamlessly via oak and glass doors and pale tiled floors, there’s lots of white, bright splashes of colour, and fun art on the walls.
Sink your toes into the plush carpet in the living room, pick a sofa and put your feet up; on warmer days open the doors to the garden, bring the sunshine in. The kitchen is slick and well equipped; in the middle is a humongous central island, by full height glass doors at the end is the breakfast table where you’ll want to linger over coffee and croissants.
Carry on to the utility room, and the dining room; a hot pink wall to one side, bifold doors at either end, and in the middle a long T-shaped table and benches where moonlight trips into the room as you chat over dinner.
Go through to the games room/TV snug, chill over a game of pool or your favourite film. Then there’s the pool room with doors to the terrace, and at the end, the table tennis room.
Upstairs are Bedrooms 1-7; Bedroom 1 sleeps 3, Bedrooms 2-5 and 7 sleep 2 and Bedroom 6 sleeps 4. Bedrooms 8 and 9 are on the ground floor, with Bedroom 8 sleeping 4 and Bedroom 9 sleeping 3.
The gardens are huge and lush, secure and private with a water feature, and several seating areas; have leisurely barbecues, soak in the hot tub. Find joy in every moment; smile the biggest smiles, laugh loudly.
