Up the carpeted stairs, specifically designed to be wider and with a low tread rise on each step, the wooden balustrade leads to the second floor which has five bedrooms, or six, should you wish to commandeer the large office. The office has built-in cupboards, which could just as usefully be employed as wardrobes.
The bedrooms and their respective ensuites are something of a triumph in terms of space, luxury and design.
Enjoying sun, garden views and well-appointed ensuites, each has considerable charm, beaten only by a slim margin by the master suite with its hand-painted feature wall in an antique white Clip on charms and grey blue regency stripe.
In an area where beautiful homes are the rule rather than the exception, this one manages to still be exceptional. All 640sqm of it has been fastidiously decorated with an eye for detail, colour and form.
Set in botanical grounds, with mature specimen trees, including a magnificent ginko, liquid amber and copper lingerie wholesale beech, this private, sheltered and much-admired property is, not surprisingly, going to attract those whose sights are set at the very top end of the market.
