A showpiece Miele four-door built-in fridge enhances both form and function, complementing the space with sleek integration and superior performance. An integrated Zip tap provides instant filtered hot and cold water, while the layout encourages effortless entertaining and everyday connection.

Additional bedrooms are thoughtfully arranged within a separate wing, serviced by a central bathroom, separate WC, and ample storage-ideal for family living. A dedicated study provides a refined work-from-home environment, while a versatile rumpus room offers flexibility as a media retreat or additional accommodation. The connection to outdoor living is impeccably realised, with a covered alfresco flowing from the main living domain to a private, resort-style pool and spa. Surrounded by landscaped gardens, the space balances elegant entertaining and effortless relaxation, delivering a lifestyle defined by indulgence, privacy, and refined luxury.
