Maelstrom House is a stunning contemporary property, combining traditional architectural detail with dramatic, open plan design to produce a discreet yet spectacular home. Tucked away in a secluded location on edge of the picturesque and sought after village, the size and style of the house deliver a rarely found combination.
A sweeping stainless-steel staircase is a stylish sculptural feature of the generous entrance hall, setting the scene for the stunning spaces which unfold.
Open to the full height of the building, a vast open plan living space is overlooked from a long gallery with glass balustrades. Huge sliding doors look to the gardens and this dramatic space provides the main living area, with a kitchen equipped for entertaining. This flows through to the sitting/dining room which, in turn, looks to the stunning indoor swimming pool which sits behind a wall of glass. The eye is drawn across the pool to a stone wall, drawing the outside in to the space, which is filled with reflective light.
To the west end of the house, a further sitting room is vaulted with massive windows to one end and a gallery to the other. There is also a study/library.
The luxuriously appointed principal suite has a full height window overlooking the garden; a sliding door within a wall of glass opens to a galleried landing overlooking the pool, giving easy access to both this and the air-conditioned gym. There is a generous dressing room and beautifully appointed en suite bathroom. Again, vast walls of glass create a feeling of openness whilst cleverly retaining privacy.
There are three more bedrooms on the first floor, each with their own distinctive design details and en suite facilities. A fifth bedroom has the flexibility of being located on the ground floor with doors opening to the garden.
To the front of the house, located above the garaging, is a generous office or games room and on the lower ground floor the wonderful leisure facilities are completed with a cinema room.
The house is approached through an electric gate, with the drive arriving at an open courtyard in front of the house and garaging.
