Designed for both family living and lifestyle use, the property includes extensive leisure and ancillary facilities such as an indoor gym, pool complex and substantial garaging, alongside two independent annexes providing three-bedroom and two-bedroom accommodation respectively. Additionally, attached to the main house is a large one-bedroom annex. Multiple external buildings, including stables and kennels, further enhance the flexibility of the estate.
