Martello Road, Branksome Park

The masterpiece of the house is the rear, where the ceiling subtly slopes up to meet magnificent 3m high Warmcore windows that frame the garden into a gallery of green. The tranquility of the low-level Mediterranean planting that edges up to the glass, perfectly complements the sleek black kitchen, designed by Abitalia interior architects. A focal feature between the kitchen and family room is the room divider Sky Tunnel fireplace by Dutch design experts Element4, giving oodles of warmth and ambience to the spaces. The Italian and Dutch design influences continue in the main living room featuring a large Element4 fire set in an Italian porcelain fireplace across the wall. Upstairs are 5 bedrooms, tastefully decorated to create a unique character to each room. All five bathrooms (including one downstairs) are individually designed and feature hand-picked tiles from Porcelanosa, a mirror TV in the principal ensuite bathroom and Villeroy & Bosch sanitaryware throughout. The principal bedroom suite is cleverly designed to offer a walk-through dressing area, contemporary privacy and luxurious ensuite bathroom.

Outside is a fabulous 10x4m swimming pool complete with LED lighting and a walk-on safety cover, and large Italian porcelain tiled entertaining patios, served by music from the multimedia TV, video and music system that runs throughout the property. An outdoor shower and direct access from the patios into the utility and ground floor shower room complete the lifestyle design of the property. A double garage and driveway island allows for easy drive in / out access.
