A seven-bed property, it is an imposing 332sqm (3,580sq ft) and has the added benefit of an adjoining 67sq m (721sq ft) mews . . . ideal for the growing family.

Space here is enhanced from the moment you enter with a double-vaulted mahogany panelled ceiling in the hall which extends up to the landing. All the woodwork doors and architraves are also mahogany and the turned staircase is an impressive feature. A mix of windows allows natural light to flood the space, making it even more appealing.

Double doors lead into the elegant living room which has an Adams-style white marble fireplace and picture window.

There are two further reception rooms, a dayroom with open fireplace and family/TV room. As you would expect in a home of this size, the kitchen is large and well planned with hand-painted units, an Aga, Miele dishwasher and Ariston fridge. The warm timberpanelled ceiling and spot lighting gives this room the feeling of a country kitchen with 21st century convenience.

The utility room has a stainless steel sink and space for a washing machine.

Patio doors lead from the kitchen to a rear south-facing garden. Measuring 130ft long and 60ft wide these mature private grounds have a combination of lawn and paved areas, with a gazebo and fish pond and an abundance of well-established trees and shrubs.
