    Our clients are selling the major part of this beautiful home well-suited for family life, with a sitting room and dining room complemented by a gym and a breakfast room, plenty of space for storage, and six spacious bedrooms (one currently an office) and five bathrooms on the first floor.

For me, one of the best points of this property is that it offers lots of space for a family, and could work as a lock up and leave.
