A study is located off the kitchen and leads through into the well-equipped utility room which gives access to a sun-drenched walled courtyard leading to the garage. An impressive principal suite is also located on the ground floor with dual aspect bifold doors and a marble fireplace. Hidden bespoke his and hers dressing rooms with fitted wardrobes and ensuites feature a Jack and Jill shower.
