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.

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.

Upstairs there is a room-sized central landing with balcony over the front porch. To the left is the main bedroom suite with balcony looking towards Powerscourt, two walk-in wardrobes, a large bathroom and a dressingroom.

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.
