The entrance is at the base of the property, where exquisitely landscaped lawns and gardens complement and reflect the style of the grand house. Delicate rose gardens line the driveway, while towering established trees and hedges on either side lend an enviable degree of privacy. The circular driveway arrives up at the imposing yet opulent front entry, introducing the majestic interiors to follow.
The perfect balance of history and visual drama has been captured upstairs in the formal lounge and dining room, where an enormous curved wall of glass showcases the incredible view. As if standing on the Captain’s deck on a ship, the outlook is one of the area’s finest vantage points and extends across the platform of level lawn on the cliff out across the uninterrupted and ever-changing activity on the harbour. The large kitchen is gourmet and will impress discerning chefs, and overlooks the more informal family dining that is illuminated with afternoon sun. A walkway leads over the foyer below to another living area, office or library.
