A triple garage and home cinema complete the ground floor, while a sweeping staircase leads up to the first floor. 

Each house is set over four floors and has the lavish necessity of lift access at each level.

The large living area can be found on the first floor, entered through double doors off the landing. 

The entire south facing wall features full height glass doors that open to reveal a large terrace with breathtaking views across the bay to Studland and Old Harry Rocks.
