DESCRIPTION
This handsome Edwardian house has been the subject of an extensive programme of refurbishment, remodelling and extension for the current owners who have applied meticulous attention to detail in every aspect of the project. The result is a triumph with an impeccable standard of finish throughout the luxuriously appointed interior which has been decorated in a style sympathetic to the period which compliments and enhances the many original features including the beautiful staircase which is set beneath a magnificent stained glass window. Where original features weren't present they have been replaced such as the stunning 'Chesney' marble fireplaces in the two main reception rooms. The project included two contemporary additions to the house, the first to the side providing a third reception room with a dramatic ceiling height and vast expanses of glazing overlooking the gardens, the second to the rear providing a magnificent kitchen incorporating an exquisite installation of bespoke cabinetry by McCarron Kitchens of London. The same level of quality applies to the bathrooms which are largely by Catchpole & Rye, sumptuous carpets which are by Bronte and some great technical features such as lighting and curtains which are operable remotely via an app on your smartphone.

The accommodation, which totals around 3624 square feet, comprises an elegant entrance hall leading to the drawing room and dining room which are open to one another but can be shut off with folding doors designed to replicate the originals. Beyond the dining room is the kitchen, a superb 'L' shaped space with sliding doors opening to and connecting the space with the garden, the same contemporary glazing has been used in the sitting room which also unites with the garden on both the north and south sides. A study, cloakroom and utility room complete the ground floor. There is also a wine cellar. On the first floor the light landing leads to three double bedrooms and a beautiful bathroom, the principal suite with en-suite dressing room (also equipped by McCarrons), leading to a spectacular en-suite bathroom. There are two further double bedrooms on the second floor one with an en-suite shower room and offering views of the sea.
