Property description

Within easy reach of the coast, Drove House stands like a luxury liner with a stunning glass curved bow overlooking a sea of green, the beautifully maintained Course of the local golf club. It is a remarkable and individually designed building in it's own right, a staggeringly distinctive house and yet at it's heart a family home, but one in which it is possible to live in the most contemporary and stylish surroundings. The half circle or curved nature of the property at one end makes the most of the views of the garden, through magnificent glass doors on the ground floor and the views beyond from the very grand balcony through the master of master bedrooms on the first floor. Drove House was created by an expert builder for his own family, the setting carefully selected in this wonderful location, amid a lovely village community and within seconds, golfing enthusiasts can be on the Greens of the golf course. The exclusive look of the building is equally matched by it's specifications, the best of which were selected with fabulous fixtures and fittings and the latest innovations that enable modern family life to be enjoyed to the full. There is the walnut and glass staircase with the galleried landing and vaulted ceiling and walking freely from one side of the house to the other following the unique curve of the property. The decking at the curved end of the house mirrors the curvature of the building, creating a superb feature. What seems like acres of glass doors, all open out to make the most of the private and enclosed garden around the residence. Visitors travelling from central London can arrive in approximately an hour and half by train arriving at Chestfield & Swalecliffe station and if arriving by car, electric gates give access to the large drive, where there is parking for numerous vehicles. Together with the chic, open planned and light, bright interior space, it is not surprising that Drove House is an outstanding property within which to entertain guests, where it is possible to hold the best and most enviable of social occasions, celebrations and is, as it's owner and creator describes, 'party heaven'.
