This six-bedroom property with large indoor swimming pool stands in nine acres, 11 miles from Canterbury.

Approached via a quiet country lane, the house has double automated gates leading through to a crushed marble driveway.

Built just three years ago, it has a curved roof engineered to have no internal visible supports. Turkish marble has been used throughout the ground floor and silk wallpapers and silk carpets are Chinese.

The kitchen/breakfast room, is fitted with Alno German kitchen units, which are sleek white gloss with glass fronted doors. Steps lead down to an informal seating area, which is glazed on two sides and has lovely views across the gardens to a paddock and woodlands beyond.

There are concertina doors opening to a front balcony and steps to the front terrace.

The sitting room has five metre high windows and a bespoke two metre wide wood burning stove is suspended from the ceiling 10 metres above. The six-metre long curtains are automated.

The indoor pool is adjacent to the sitting room and a central part of the house. Swimmers can be seen through the window.

Gardens have mature trees and grounds are laid to lawn with azaleas and rhododendrons.

The house has a double garage and is south of Denton, and close to the popular village of Barham.
