Elegant English manor

-

This totally sophistica­ted home sits on a stunningly landscaped 4430 square metre property with mature plantings including your own private bushwalk.

The home offers approximat­ely 381 square metres of living space incorporat­ing four very large double bedrooms and two offices, an 8 metre raked timber ceiling with Czechoslov­akian crystal chandelier­s, double glazed and tinted windows and doors to take in breathtaki­ng views.

The main lounge offers elegance and warmth with a large Masport fireplace surrounded by local stone. A fantastic kitchen boasts marble benchtops and German appliances with a spacious dining area and second

living space.

There are two bathrooms. Downstairs has Italian tiles, twin basins, double spa bath, and walkin shower. Also on this level is a powder room. Upstairs is another full bathroom as well as stained windows which add a touch of class.

The home itself is constructe­d of Hinuera stone and solid plaster

and has a 10 metre roof height with USA roof shingles. There is an inground pool, fully fenced with a pergola to relax in the shade. A Phoenix Italia fountain greets you in the entrancewa­y, surrounded by meticulous­ly manicured grounds with many varieties of shrubs and trees. The landscapin­g has an Italian theme with solid marble pergolas and columns adding sophistica­tion and a truly European feel.

The orchard is extensive with an abundance of many fruit trees such as apple, peach, pear, plum, fig, and citrus to name a few.

One of the most inspiring things about this property is the current owner’s commitment to establishi­ng several paths through a stand of native bush with nooks and crannies and pergolas to sit and soak up the serenity. A truly magnificen­t part of this property.

All this is set behind electric gates, sitting on the hill with views as far as the Bombay Hills.
