The stunning wooden ceiling adds to the contemporary feel of the space and two large sliding glass doors open onto the west-facing landscaped garden. The rear section of the garden can be used as off-street parking and benefits from a remote operated electric gate.

Stairs lead down from the hallway into the basement which has been converted to include a superb family room with bay window with a door opening onto a lightwell, a spacious shower room, a wine room and a large storeroom that could be converted to a media room or fitness studio.
