The estate agents said: “The cottage, which was purchased by the current owners 13 years ago, has undergone significant transformations by the custodian of this magnificent house.
“Their international travels have been transposed into this stunning property and they have created a lifestyle and interior design which reflects the beautiful building materials, lighting and creativity of international homes from around the world.
“In parts of the property, you can be sitting in what might be reminiscent of a savannah in Africa or a prairie overlooking a game park.
“The use of conservation materials which reflect Asian, Thai and African design contrast very well with modern wiring, plumbing and kitchen facilities to create beautiful living spaces with amazing interior design, lighting, architecture and fireplaces.
“The ground floor at upper level from Ashbrook Road leads into the reception hall, bedrooms and further bedrooms above, all of which have amazing, individual layouts, designs, styling and taste.
“The fabulous staircase leads down to the lower ground level which provides the principal entertaining spaces with three large living rooms and a magnificent kitchen, as well as open terraces with glass balconies and beautiful entertaining areas including jacuzzi, spa and lovely open fireplaces for winter nights.”
