- THE PROPERTY
Configured over a plethora of levels, which we have summarized into four. An impeccable level of detail and craftmanship is consistently found on each level. The Property draws in two leading styles giving the property its distinctive interior design. The first being, of course, the Period Victorian Charm. Seen throughout the property, showcasing glorious high ceilings, wood panelling, timber sash windows, with oak chevron parquet wood floors. The property is then finished with a modern contemporary style with floor to ceiling Crittall style doors, fully integrated kitchen with plumbed underfloor heating, marble and natural stone tiling. Custom openings and bespoke made design fittings are also found throughout the property.
- GROUND, LOWER GROUND AND THE BASEMENT LEVEL.
The properties mammoth Five reception spaces are all arranged over these three levels. The two receptions rooms found on the ground floor The developers have opted for a through lounge layout bought together with Crittal double doors acting as an optional separation. This open plan layout flows in natural light from two different directions, the front reception draws in natural light from the substantially sized bay window. A full height bay window inviting light in from the south to enhance the impressive volume of space then flowing onto second reception which is dressed for dining which further leads on to a large opening framed with an oak surround and a substantially sized skylight above leading straight down onto the property's gorgeous kitchen space.
This kitchen is the focal point of these levels, bursting with light indebted to its numerous light ports. The space has a bespoke pivot door fitted leading out to the garden (a must see) along with a window box just beside, perfect for a spot of reading or to enjoy a hot drink. The window box has been lined once again with oak framing, adding a warm indoor/outdoor texture to the seating space. The kitchen also pulls in natural light from the skylight fitted above. A sublime injection light into this space.
The kitchen itself is a Nolte Kitchen (Luxury German Kitchen Design company) and fitted with plenty of worktop space, lava grey kitchen storage units and plumbed water underfloor heating. The worktops are quartz, as is the Centre island which doubles up as a place to dine with breakfast bar seating and additional kitchen storage built beneath. A supremely well thought out kitchen design. The island also has a five-point cooking system with a built-in recessed extractor with bespoke pendant lighting fitted above. Along with this, the kitchen houses a built-in double oven and microwave, an integrated dishwasher, a floor to ceiling fridge and floor to ceiling freezer.
The entrance to the basement level is quite incognito to say the least, the kitchen has concealed doors which lead down to the property's basement level. If the concealed doors are not open this opening is totally invisible. Two further reception spaces can be found along with ample storage facilities. This level is occupied by the property's cinema room and lounge area. Hidden on the ground floor, another rare feature to this property's versality. Along with the properties wine cellar this space has been fitted with storage for your main utilities and an additional storage room which resembles the size of a double room! We are confident that all storage needs will be met with this house.
Straight on from the kitchen you have a delightfully arranged garden which has its own uplight and downlight lighting circuit, transforming itself as nightfall's. You also have bench seating to the rear fitted with its own fire pit laid on natural granite stone (which is ingrained with gold!) and to top it off the garden has been fitted with an inbuilt Kamado barbeque.

The downstairs also has a Guest WC. Here the designers have opted for a classically stylish white theme.
