  • 9 Bedrooms
  • 9 Bathrooms

And so much more!

The main house is comprised of 4 floors. There are also two adjoining annexes, one floor of which is a completely self-sufficient guest annex including kitchen and dining area.





Two sloped driveways take you past the external ornamental garden which surrounds the house on a lower level. The driveways take you up to the main courtyard where a large fountain can be seen and a sports coupe car which comes with the property, parked outside the three-car-garage. The main entrance is situated straight ahead, and there is also an entrance into the left-hand-side (West Wing) annex.

Going through the main entrance into the foyer leads you to the ground floor which is comprised of the following rooms:

The ground floor of the West Wing (annex) is as follows:
  • Billiards Room which has been converted into a Fussball and Darts Room
  • Bar
  • Lower Office

Taking either of the spiral staircases in the Foyer, or the one in the Conservatory will lead to the main first floor. To access the first floor in the West Tower you would need to use the spiral staircase in the Master Bedroom. The main first floor contains the following rooms:
  • 4 Double Bedrooms all with en-suite bathrooms
  • Tower Study (Study in a tower)
  • 4 Terraced Areas - 2 small terraces with table and chairs, 1 large one with table and chairs, and sun loungers, and the last is above the main entrance
  • Gallery overlooking the Grand Room




The West Tower first floor area is the Nectar Room

  • Sitting area

The second floor of the West Tower comprises of a small reading room

The spiral staircase in the sitting area on the second floor of the main house leads to:

To The Manor Born (Sims 2)

This is a massive mansion, with a total of 22 rooms (not including the garage, or swimming pool/conservatory), and it is all completely unfurnished to allow for your own customisation. With this much space it seemed pointless to dictate which room is what. When I played this myself, I have included a sauna, hot tub rooms, training/fitness rooms etc etc.

There is as usual, no custom content used.

The layout is as follows:

Ground floor:
9 rooms, a double garage, and a conservatory with swimming pool at the rear of the property.

1st Floor:
7 rooms

2nd Floor:
6 rooms - 4 in main complex, 2 in smaller complex.

See the thumbnails below for a better view of the floors and rooms.

The front garden is split into a main garden, and a reception/party area with covered bar and DJ station, swings, and benches. There is also plenty of space at the rear to expand on the garden.
