Estate agent Gascoigne Halman, which is marketing the property, says: “A stunning residence built in the Queen Ann architectural style which is widely seen throughout the area, its footprint, form, scale, and appearance have all been carefully considered to create a stunning home which stands out but also which sits in harmony with its surroundings.

“With an abundance of high-quality materials throughout including natural roofing, slate, hardwood framing, brick walls and natural stone detailing. The results are of a timeless quality blending with and complimenting the surrounding properties.
“Although a brand-new build completed in 2015 and offering in excess of 14,000 sq.ft, the overall impression is of a house of character and architectural interest but with the warmth and charm of a traditional family home.”

Every detail has been thoughtfully considered, creating a home where elegance and functionality exist in perfect harmony.
