A design masterpiece, Carrick Hill blurs the boundaries between art and architecture and combines dramatic beauty with sophisticated amenities and meticulous attention to detail. A palette of carefully selected natural materials unite the interior with the extensive use of glass, terrazzo tiling, Ross Levanto marble, granite and solid Beech and Myrtle timbers creating a distinctive Manhattanesque feel.
Five principal living areas provide exceptional areas for intimate daily living to refined entertaining. Grand reception rooms and a billiards room honour the home's illustrious heritage. Elaborate roses crowning soaring ceilings, ornate cornice work and marble fireplaces are matched with exquisite furnishings and finishes creating a sense of occasion for formal entertaining.
Floor lighting in the majestic hallway creates a dramatic gallery inspired space which hints at the transformative renovation in the north-facing informal living wing. Luxurious yet relaxing, spacious yet intimate, this superb family living and dining area is a masterpiece of space and light. Breathtaking finishes including a floor-to-ceiling artisan stone feature wall tie the room together while towering walls of double glazed glass with electric sliding doors emphasise the openness and provides a seamless interaction with the outdoors.
The bespoke kitchen is born to meet the most demanding needs. Innovative, luxurious, functional and seamless, a stunning combination of Rosso Levanto marble, terrazzo tiling, warming timbers and dramatic granite and stainless steel work surfaces are matched with the very best Gaggenau and Miele appliances, exceptional storage solutions and clever additions from a hidden work station to adjoining drying cupboards and underfloor cellar.
The four bedroom, three bathroom sleeping accommodation is exceptional. The palatial main bedroom is designed as a luxurious retreat with his and her walk-in dressing rooms and a sumptuous en suite enlivened with Rosso Levanto, Carrara marble encased spa and double shower. Detail such as a laundry shoot and built-in iron in the wardrobe highlight the home's fastidious attention to detail. A separate children's wing with a central rumpus room and two bedrooms each with superb en suites (one with dual access) complement a fourth fitted bedroom and distinguished study or fifth bedroom.
The manicured gardens integrate every conceivable amenity for entertaining and family living. Spend long summer days in the east wing entertainment retreat with family and friends. Here a bathroom services the pool; while a top-floor living room with a full kitchen with granite work surfaces, wine fridge and European appliances provides a fabulous party space where cocktails can be enjoyed on the balcony while children play in the pool below.
