The grand porte cochère over the entrance of this country home gives an indication of how things are inside. Beyond the over-sized pivot door lies a semi-circular foyer with elegantly curved stairs sweeping left and right. From this spacious receiving area the home spreads out over two floors with open spaces to come together and cosy corners to retreat to, including six bedrooms – each with ensuite and walk-in wardrobe. Toy rooms in the children’s bedrooms are one of many thoughtful touches.

With a fondness for hosting guests, the kitchen includes a big square island around which to gather and share culinary adventures. A full scullery keeps cooking private when required. Two offices, one with separate access, have the work side of life covered and there are plenty of doors out to a hectare of picturesque grounds, where you can say hello to the neighbour’s horses. Interior detailing is plush and modern with a mix of timber, carpeted and tiled floors in all the right places. Tiny LED lights have been arranged on the ceiling of the dark media room to mimic a celestial expanse, complete with a constellation that holds significance for the family. For a home of 557sqm things are surprisingly welcoming, cosy and warm. You can feel the love.
