One cannot step inside this house or even view it from the outside, without appreciating the inherent history. The substance of the place, not just the build quality but the larger than life proportion of not only the room sizes, but the staircases, the fireplaces and the wealth of Georgian features, is what impresses you first. The quality and elegance is incomparable. The clean lines and simple structures of the early Georgian design dominate the rooms with some fine and delicate ornate plasterwork being showcased in the spectacular 780 square foot vaulted drawing room which was the original chapel of the house. The property has been beautifully presented, utilizing traditional muted paint colours to great effect bringing into relief the superb white plaster work and fine carpentry. Allowing the original features to take centre stage, is not to say that the superb contemporary specification, understated and minimalist it may be, is anything short of lavish. With oak flooring almost throughout, with natural stone here and there, all enhanced by strategic modern lighting, the overall effect is cohesive, both beautiful and practical, grand and comfortable. The eye glides over the sleek kitchen units under a fabulous lantern style atrium glazed roof and the neatly arranged laundry cupboards; everything quietly and unobtrusively arranged whilst oozing opulence. A successful and possibly unrivalled example of a stylish and seemingly effortless combination of the finest period features and contemporary appointments one is likely to find.
