Double doors lead into a big central hall with a branching oak staircase and Travertine marble floor.

The living area consists of three vast interconnecting rooms in an L-shape - none of which are less than 30ft long. A family/dining room with enormous bay windows opening into the garden has a white painted coved ceiling inset with skylights, Travertine marble floor and monochrome stained glass doors.
Stained glass is a feature of the house, all of it including a huge oculus (circular) window in the wall between kitchen and drawingroom, made by Dermot Martin of a Touch of Glass in Carlingford.
In the kitchen, the entire end wall is made of glass with French doors out to a decked terrace. Units are by Pronorm and every contemporary appliance is fitted in, including double oven cooker, humidity storage drawer, waste disposal drawer, and Neff coffee maker.
The Travertine marble floor continues here into the drawingroom, which has a painted vaulted ceiling and vast fireplace fit for a baronial hall.

On the other side of the landing are two more bedrooms, and a family bathroom. All of these rooms are also lit by large dormer windows.
Outside, the games house, with bar downstairs and pool room upstairs, also has a separate bathroom and one other room.
It is beside a tennis court and there are electronic gates to the front with ample space for cars, while the garden is landscaped beyond the decking all round the house.
