No expense has been spared in creating this stunning detached family residence from its origins as a chalet bungalow. With its marble floors, aluminium framed windows and contemporary aluminium front door, a unique handcrafted staircase, Smallbone designed bathrooms and an Umbermaster kitchen, it really is something special and was designed by the current owners to be a unique home. Set well back from the road and half hidden by holly trees, high hedging and wood fencing it is approached via a block paved outer parking area bordered by a brick wall. This leads to solid wood automatic gates and a separate pedestrian gate that open onto a spacious block paved driveway where you can park at least four cars. It is flanked by a charming front garden with mature shrub beds, a lawn and an Indian sandstone terrace that wraps around the entire building. The modern front door opens into an impressive double height vestibule with views up to the galleried landing and marble flooring with underfloor heating that flows throughout most of the living accommodation.
