cum-side tables either side of the sofa; the ownerâs study is found through a door in the library. The Batavian bureau was made in c1740 from highly prized calamander wood as a
show-piece for a senior official in the Dutch East India company; the swimming pool is set below the back entrance of the house surrounded by wild-flower meadows and English roses
