Description
Apollonia was constructed in 2018 to exacting standards and has been orientated so that the principal reception rooms, kitchen and bedrooms enjoy lovely views over the property's grounds and beyond.
The house is approached over a magnificent reception hall extending to over 35 ft in length with a polished concrete floor and featuring a cantilever stone staircase. Either side of the hall lies a cinema room and on the opposite side an entertainment room which has a fully equipped wet bar. Towards the rear of the house is a play room and a cloak room. Occupying the full width is an open plan kitchen/living room, 56.8 ft by 19.3 ft, enjoying panoramic views over the property's grounds, terraces and swimming pool. The kitchen features a polished concrete floor incorporating a glass-topped spiral wine cellar, and has been fitted with a range of high quality contemporary units anchored around a substantial breakfast bar and incorporating many integrated appliances. The room is bathed in natural light, having a two storey glass wall. Adjoining the kitchen is a fitted utility room with a door to the outside.
The first floor landing is magnificent with a galleried area overlooking the kitchen/family room and reception hall. The principal bedroom suite runs the full depth of the house with a large bedroom, en suite bathroom and fitted en suite dressing room with bifold doors on to a rear balcony, providing panoramic views over the property's grounds. There are two further bedroom suites on the first floor. The second floor has a beautiful guest bedroom at the rear of the house with an en suite dressing room and balcony. There are two further bedrooms and a second floor laundry room.
In all the house extends to about 8,100 sq ft.

The house has two electric-gated entrances which open into a substantial block cobbled driveway providing extensive and secure parking. Gates at the side of the house access a long driveway, which leads to a range of substantial outbuildings/garaging. Immediately behind the house is a resin bonded terrace which adjoins a lovely in-ground swimming pool. Beyond are extensive lawns, which merge with a lake towards the rear boundary.
In all about 1.88 acres.
