Description

Andrews Cross has recently undergone a comprehensive transformation creating a contemporary home arranged mainly on a single level. Soaring vaulted ceilings and ‘cathedral’ windows fill the open plan reception areas with natural light and this property has possibly the most impressive and indulgent master bedroom suite we have seen in recent years. Quality exudes throughout, with a bespoke Mark Wilkinson kitchen including granite surfaces, Gaggenau, Miele appliances, top of range bathroom fittings, under-floor heating and Cat 5 wiring throughout.

The main open plan reception area opens to a full width balcony and the second lower ground multi-purpose reception room is divided by a glass screen to create a gym and a separate entertaining suite with a bespoke bar and an adjoining study area. This area is adaptable to a cinema room, games room, and family room. Both enjoy uninterrupted views over fields.This is practically a new house, having been subject to a comprehensive refurbishment and extension programme to create a comfortable and well planned 4200 sq ft split level home which is equally well suited to entertaining as for family use.

The contemporary front door opens to a vaulted reception hall with oak flooring. A cloakroom with a separate w.c. and contemporary white suite lies off to the right. The hall leads around to the right and opens into the stunning open plan main reception room with its twin gabled vaulted ceiling and double French doors opening to a balcony with glass balustrades and a side breakfast terrace.
