The Household:

The property is spacious and well-maintained, spread over two floors with 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 4 reception rooms, a large kitchen, utility room, and a garden with a pool.

The family consists of 2 adults and 3 school-aged children who are independent and encouraged to contribute to household upkeep. A weekly Cleaner (6 hours per week) and a Gardener are also employed.
