Interior & Grounds

Throughout the décor has a simple, harmonious modernity that accentuates the remnants of the past – uncluttered contemporary furniture, discreet lighting, pale walls and textiles provide a soothing background to the original solid oak floors, curvaceous fireplaces of carved marble and high, heavily beamed ceilings.

Ground Floor

The Hall: Large double doors with fantastically intricate ironwork open into a hall from which the elegant curving staircase ascends.

The Salon: Lit by triple aspect windows by day and a crystal chandelier by night, this large room has ample space for a crowd to relax in comfort, watching a DVD or satellite channels on the large screen television or ensnared by Playstation 3. Double doors lead straight out onto the pool terrace. There is also a library of books and a multiplicity of board games.

The room can be rearranged to make an undistracting setting for business functions, with convenient access to wifi.

The Dining Room: A generous room with a fireplace for winter dining illuminated by a modern chandelier, and enormous French doors opening onto the swimming pool terrace for breezy summer eating. The table seats 14 on stylish and comfortable dining chairs.

The Kitchen: Clean contemporary lines make a kitchen that is a pleasure to work in, and, dominated by a large farmhouse table, a relaxed setting for family meals. There are all the accoutrements you might need for gourmet cuisine, including the spices. There is an oven, a microwave, a 5 burner hob, dishwasher and fridge/freezer. We can also supply two high chairs.

There is a loo conveniently situated in one of the turrets.
