The larger principal suite includes a beautifully appointed en suite bathroom and dressing room with fitted cupboards. The balcony is accessible from both principal bedrooms, each featuring large bay windows, panoramic views of the lake and grounds, and built-in automated up and down TV screens. The main staircase rises from the hall to a stunning, light-filled landing with three copper etched decorative radiators and a balcony immediately ahead. A circular staircase leads to a comprehensively fitted gym above, equipped with Ipod docking stations and a Bower & Wilkins speaker system. The pool, approximately 12.5m x 6.5m, has a childproof cover, a projector, and a 12ft dropdown screen. A corridor leads to the swimming pool complex, featuring a cloakroom, whirlpool, sauna, and two walk-in showers. Beyond this lies a 10-seat soundproofed cinema with electrically operated Lazy Boy reclining seating, and a recording studio. The newly extended part of the house, benefiting from zoned underfloor heating, includes a spacious family room with infrastructure fitted for a bar, a large screen with surround sound, and Ipod docks. The garden room features an original well at its core, glassed over and lit internally to produce a stunning centrepiece, and a mirror vision television built-in. Each of these spaces offers wonderful views of the grounds and lake beyond, while a Bower and Wilkins speaker system ensures an immersive auditory experience. The rear of the house, designed for open plan family living, consists of a beautiful bespoke Mark Wilkinson kitchen, a formal dining area, and a garden room. A cloakroom, incorporating 18 carat gold fittings from Gessi’s Mimi range, and a snug are also accessible from the hall. To the right of the hall lies the drawing room, complete with a fireplace and wood floors, leading to an office and an ornate library, which connects back to the hall. A stone pathway ushers you to the front door, located on the east side of the house, opening onto an elegant, oak-panelled entrance hall with a central staircase ahead. The gravel drive, flanked by lavender, leads to a roundel with a central fountain, a welcoming sight for residents and guests alike. Automated ornate wrought iron gates, flanked by sweeping rendered walls, afford privacy and stature, while the CCTV system, accessible from any television screen throughout the house, ensures security. The approach to the house is a grand affair. The main house, garaging, and annex collectively span 13,000 square feet, nestled within 12 acres of private, landscaped grounds. All sanitary ware is designer, a nod to the elegance and sophistication that defines this residence. The bathrooms, WC’s, floor and wall tiling throughout are crafted from marble, limestone, or travertine, while the worktops are of natural stone. The woodwork, a symphony of oak panelling, doors, architraves, skirting, and cornicing, is complemented by brass ironmongery. Each room is data hardwired, a testament to the seamless integration of technology. The house is a haven of modern conveniences, fully automated with Creston Control systems, two media servers, DAB radio distribution, Sky HD, Freeview, and a Niko Lighting system. Since its acquisition in 2006, the current owners have meticulously renovated, modernised, and extended the house, transforming the grounds into a breathtaking masterpiece. Rowley Fields Farm, an unlisted marvel, is built of rendered brick adorned with a slate roof.
