The monochrome tiled marble floor sets a tone of refined luxury, leading to an impressive hallway that extends over 41 feet in length. With a ceiling height exceeding 11 feet, a feature prevalent throughout this stunning home, the sense of space and grandeur is immediately apparent.
A heavy original oak door ushers you into the expansive living room, a magnificent space stretching over 37 feet in length.

From here, a pair of solid double oak doors open into the family room, which also features dual aspect sash windows. A bespoke commercial lift provides convenient access to the first floor. This room too is graced with an original fireplace, standing proudly as a focal point, and open apertures on either side leading into the modern open-plan kitchen.
