Over the years, the house has been thoughtfully upgraded and expanded.

The residence offers over 5,200 square feet of living space, blending airy, light-filled interiors with touches of Art Deco style. The garden room, in particular, stands out with its bespoke hand-crafted gin bar, library shelving, recessed gas fire, wall-to-wall glazed folding doors leading to the terrace, and a glass-topped well in the floor. The open-plan kitchen and breakfast room are elegantly fitted with Cornish granite work surfaces, a central island with a secondary basin, and integrated Miele appliances, including two fan ovens, a steam oven, a microwave, warming drawers, a dishwasher, an induction hob, and a fridge freezer. An adjoining pantry includes an integrated fridge and freezer, as well as Miele washing machine and tumble dryer.

On the first floor, the galleried landing leads to the principal bedroom, which features double doors and a Juliette balcony overlooking the gardens. This room includes a bespoke maple dressing room and a luxurious en suite shower room with a large walk-in rain head shower. The first floor also has three additional double bedrooms, a family bathroom with an oversized bath and separate shower, and an extra family shower room. A staircase ascends to the second floor, where a spacious fifth bedroom (nearly 25 feet in length) and a 16-foot dressing room are located. OUTSIDE The property is approached via double electric gates and a long driveway that passes beneath the porte-cochre, leading to the garages. A generous parking area beyond the porte-cochre accommodates multiple vehicles or boats, with a four-car garage and covered storage area. Set within just under 1.2 acres of mature grounds, Tanglewood offers a high degree of privacy. The gardens feature a formal area bordered by evergreen hedges and mature trees, including oaks, magnolias, acers, and rhododendrons, all underplanted with wildflowers and flowering bulbs.
