Description

Designed and built in 2004 by the much acclaimed Swiss architect Walter Strebel this generously proportioned and laterally configured family home provides superbly for generational living. The versatile and well balanced accommodation is arranged over just three levels and totals over 6100 square feet that is equally well equipped for family life or more formal entertaining. The large windows and open aspects are delightful and further emphasise the excellent flow of natural light. In addition to the main entrance there is a secondary entrance and staircase to the right of the front door, which leads to the first floor and provides perfectly for live in staff or older children seeking independence. Other features of particular note include air conditioning, underfloor heating and the excellent degree of privacy and seclusion that the house and gardens afford, particularly when you consider its incredibly central and convenient location

To the rear of the house there is a stunning southerly walled garden that is beautifully established and predominantly laid to lawn. From this garden there is a gate providing access to a further 'secret garden' that faces south west and is an ideal area for alfresco entertaining. Whilst to the front of the property there is gated forecourt providing ample and secure off street parking.
