No expense spared. Approximately 4000 square feet of floor space. House featured in November 2007 issue of Essex Life.

The ground floor entrance opens into an enormous open plan reception/dining area, 12 metres high with beamed ceilings and solid oak floors. Also features an attractive designer fireplace with limestone seating on each side.

The dining area connects naturally with the breakfast area annexing a fully-fitted kitchen in oak and glass. Across the travertine floored hallway from the kitchen is the Home cinema.

Also off the hallway are the downstairs cloakroom and separate utility room/laundry. The hallway then leads back to an amazing fully glazed rear gable of the house with a large garden/exercise room or study opening onto the rear patio/garden area with Jacuzzi.

Upstairs, bridged by a glass-sided balcony, are 3 large bedrooms one with an extra mezzanine floor. There are two beautiful bathrooms, one en suite. Plenty of built-in storage space in the bedrooms, all of which have luxurious fitted deep-pile carpets.
