Impressive from the driveway and beyond with stylish private front gates and a world of stunning garden symmetry, and intricately designed formal gardens. A beautiful French Parterre garden at the northerly side of the property is a spectacular centrepiece. Wide borders of continuous formal hedging, Standard Roses, and tightly clipped Buxus are balanced with avenues of Ornamental Pears and framed espaliered Star Jasmine. This equisite garden is observed through a massive glass picture window within the spacious formal living room. A tranquil sunny setting right next to a cosy fireplace; with divine Marble surround.
Meticulously maintained, this family entertainers' home caters for every season, with light and warmth captured through perfect northerly orientation. The living, dining and kitchen and most of the bedrooms take in full sun with clear vision of the Parterre, private gardens and manicured lawn.
