The sweeping staircase makes a graceful centrepiece to the house with its stunning lines continuing up and curving around the galleried landing. Further design details include deep skirtings, detailed architraves and cornicing and bespoke cabinetry by Rencraft. High end appliances include Miele in the kitchen and Lefroy Brooks sanitaryware to the bathrooms.
