Of particular note are the drawing, dining and family rooms which all enjoy vistas over the gardens. • The kitchen/ breakfast room offers a substantial open plan family and entertainment area, walk in larder, original wrought iron range and granite work surfaces. Double doors lead out to the large conservatory and in turn the indoor swimming pool, loosely based on the architectural design of the domed glass ceiling at Crystal Palace. The terrace, ideal for entertaining, is found off the conservatory with sensational views towards Canary Wharf. • An elegant dividing staircase leads up to a galleried landing, where the bedroom accommodation is laid out. The large master suite has a well-appointed bathroom and two dressing rooms. There are 5 further bedrooms and a flat comprising kitchen, sitting room, and bedroom suite.
