Why you'll like it:
The front door opens into a light hall with period features above your head and gleaming floorboards leading off into the distance, so you get an immediate feel for the sheer size of the house. To the left is an elegant reception room, with high ceilings, which has been transformed by contemporary touches into a large space ideal for modern living.

The kitchen is contemporary with the Farrow and Ball colours of the living space. Dine beneath the two large sky lights, guests can dine shimmering in both star and candle light. The kitchen, with fashionable grey units and dark work surfaces is separated by a central island and comes with bespoke light fittings to elevate the kitchen and hallway.

At the end of the kitchen, tall glass doors fold out to an amazing, beautifully paved dining area is surrounded by a mix of imaginative and mature planting.

Returning to the house the first floor has a luxury bathroom with fired earth East Hampton tiles on the floor and a cool blue on the walls. It has a contemporary white suite including a double ended bath with a dual headed shower above it. The first of the peaceful bedrooms is next door, looking over the garden.

The second quiet bedroom is to the right, which also looks across the garden and has a fitted wardrobe and the serene master bedroom is at the front, with a graceful bay and tall sash window to the Juliette balcony which with the high ceilings and subtle colours just feels so soothing!
