The house functions brilliantly as a family home with a mix of open plan living/entertaining spaces and separate reception rooms, all arranged around a central hallway and staircase. Design features include high ceilings with unique plaster cast cornice to the ground floor and landing, with dropped feature LED lit ceilings to the kitchen diner; also oak doors, underfloor heating, sash windows, wall panelling in the hallway, and hidden storage beneath the stairs.
The highlight of the ground floor is the open-plan kitchen/family/dining room, which overlooks the rear garden and measures over thirty feet; fittings in this room includes sleek full-height kitchen units under stone surfaces, which are arranged around a large island with overhanging feature lights. Neff appliances include two fitted ovens, a fitted microwave and a warming drawer, an induction hob, a dishwasher and a high-pressure tap.

Five bedrooms on the first floor include a master that overlooks the front and which includes a fitted dressing room accessed by sliding doors. It also an features en-suite with a large walk-in shower and a backlight wall mirror.
The guest suite features a series of fitted wardrobes and also has an ensuite with a large walk-in shower; the three remaining bedrooms share the use of a super-stylish family bathroom with a tiled feature wall, a freestanding bath and his-and-hers sinks beneath a double sized backlit mirror.
OUTSIDE
Casa Amor is fully set-up for BIG summer parties with a south facing patio and lawn, and a fabulous entertainment terrace on its western boundary. This features a stylish undercover bar (with a sink, fridges, fitted media and a ceiling heater), a second dining bar beneath a pergola, an Argentinian Grill, a pizza oven, a seating area and decked hot tub platform.
A vast floodlit patio runs the width of the house and this gives way to a 25m x 15m lawn with birch trees that were specifically planted to provide privacy along the rear boundary. These work well alongside a number of (protected) oaks on the eastern boundary, behind which there is a log store, a dog run and a wild garden with a bug hotel.

The front drive is a mix of block paving and shingle and is secured by electric gates. There is parking space for three/four cars as well as access to a large double garage.
Internal stairs in the garage lead to a very nicely fitted walk-through storage room and a large office above, with the latter being ideal for anybody needing to work from home.
