Several integrated appliances include double electric ovens, a microwave, a dishwasher, a fridge/freezer, a wine cooler, a hob with downdraft extractor and an additional hob for larger occasions.

Also on the ground floor are four double bedrooms, all of which are a comfortable size and served by a modern bathroom and an additional shower room, offering excellent flexibility for family life or visiting guests.
Upstairs, the galleried landing leads to the master bedroom, an impressive room that extends over 21ft and includes a private balcony overlooking the lake, a walk-in wardrobe, and a stylishly appointed ensuite with roll-top bath, walk-in shower, and double basin vanity unit. There is also a versatile additional reception room on the first floor, ideal for a home office or games room.

DETACHED STUDIO
Positioned by the water's edge, the detached studio is a real highlight and adds another layer of flexibility.

(subject to any necessary permissions) The studio comprises a large open-plan space, with a shower room and storage area, and enjoys uninterrupted views over the lake.
OUTSIDE

A veranda with a hot tub, offers year-round enjoyment of the setting, while a charming African hut stands on a private peninsula that juts into the lake. This peaceful spot is surrounded by a small stream, complete with a pond, water feature, and a timber footbridge, creating an idyllic natural retreat just moments from the house.
