No expensive has been spared in the detailing, from the decorative 22-carat gold leaf to the Italian marble, the hardwood flooring to the handwoven silk panels produced at England’s oldest surviving textile mill. Showcasing this extraordinary home once you have taken possession will be all the easier with the entertainment-centred lower ground floor. On this level there is a party room, bar, informal dining room, wine cellar, catering kitchen, cinema, fully equipped gym and a banqueting hall.
