The single storey concept means that the accommodation is laid out like a supremely large penthouse with over 6360 sq ft of accommodation, says Fine and Country.

The house was designed with an indoor swimming pool though this has been swapped out by the current owners for a formal dining room.

The entrance vestibule is approached by crossing a reflective pool and an oversize front door gives access to this fabulous home.

On entering the home the main reception hall shows the LA-cool grandeur of the accomodation with high ceilings and large expanses of glass that bathes the space in natural light whilst bringing the outside in.

Throughout the home everything has been finished to an immaculately high standard.

Keeping a chic yet lived-in feel, the property has an open plan kitchen area which links to the informal living space.

There is even a separate professional kitchen incorporating a Wolf stainless steel range, perfect for entertaining family or hosting events with friends.
