THE RANCH HOUSE 

This remarkable property begins with an inviting entrance, luring you to the garden beyond. Stunning views stretch over the beautifully maintained formal lawns. The heart of the home is the state-of-the- art kitchen, a chef’s dream that screams ‘high-spec’ and ‘quality’. A full range of Gaggenau appliances, a Sub- Zero fridge freezer, all encased in American walnut cabinetry. Imposing sliding doors with fully automatic built-in electric blinds, invite you to continue through the most incredible covered entertaining area. Fully equipped with a top of the range wood/gas pizza oven, BBQ and fireplace. A breathtaking space designed for seamless indoor/outdoor living.

The living room, with a custom Portland Stone fireplace, provides a quiet retreat but ensures you’re never too far from the action. Just beyond is the family entertaining room. The showstopper in this room is the commercial grade pewter bar, perfect for hosting unforgettable evenings. 

You’ll find three spacious double bedrooms as well as a bedroom/office. All with built-in wardrobes. The master suite is a luxurious retreat, featuring a vanity area, shower room and walk-in wardrobe. Both the master and the family bathrooms are tastefully finished by CP Hart. 

THE STABLES 

A spacious three bedroom single-storey characterful conversion, The Stables offers a calm, homely environment. The sitting room is an impressive, large principal reception space, featuring a superb Inglenook fireplace and two sets of patio doors that open onto a terrace overlooking the tennis court. 

The south facing dining kitchen is an airy light-filled space, equipped with an extensive range of appliances and an american fridge freezer.
