On this floor there are two further en suite bedrooms, a family bathroom and two double bedrooms which both enjoy access into a games room.

The gardens and grounds at Swinley Court are exceptional and measure nearly 3 acres. There is a triple garage, an outdoor swimming pool and a full size tennis court.

Swinley Court enjoys a wonderful variety of formal lawned gardens to the front and rear of the house but also a more wild wooded area full of mature trees and rhododendrons.
