Beyond the dining room, a stylish cloakroom and WC lead into a glass-covered walkway, connecting the main house to a secondary entrance and two superbly fitted home offices -perfect for those working remotely.

A separate staircase leads to a private annexe above the offices, offering two bedrooms, a modern bathroom, and a spacious living area -deal for guests, extended family, or older children seeking independence.

The first floor of the main house is no less impressive. The principal bedroom is a calm and spacious retreat, with French doors opening to a balcony that looks out over the gardens and the valley beyond. A bespoke fitted dressing room leads to a luxurious ensuite bathroom with walk-in shower, twin sinks and contemporary styling. Three further double bedrooms each enjoy fitted storage and are served by a beautifully finished family bathroom and a separate linen store.

Beyond lies a recently refurbished, full-size tennis court - an ideal space for both relaxed recreation and more serious play. The gardens are predominantly laid to lawn, interspersed with mature trees, shrubs and established planting that provide colour and structure year-round. A second driveway sweeps up from the lower garden to a further set of electric gates, adding flexibility and ease of access for visiting friends and family.
