The lower-ground floor of this Georgian semi has a kitchen/dining/living area, utility room and WC, with a double-height space above the dining zone. Overlooking this is the mezzanine library and formal living room. The main bedroom, his-and-hers dressing rooms, main bathroom and a WC are on the first floor. The boys' bedrooms are on the second floor, as is a WC, bathroom and guest bedroom suite.
Laid out in classic chevron fashion, rich engineered boards add a final luxe touch to this mezzanine library. Chosen to match the bespoke shelving, the flooring makes the perfect backdrop for showcasing the owner's capsule collection of furniture and accessories....
