A massive English-style manor boasting sizable interiors, luxurious finishings and a countless amount of storage space has been put up for sale in Bahrain.

It is located in a secluded area of South Janabiya but within easy reach of an outdoor shopping centre including restaurants, retailers and a supermarket.

The exterior of the gated five-bedroom property features brick walls, a patio, pillars, a shingled roof and lots of lush landscaping with gigantic palm trees and plants.

There is a decorative floor fountain at the front and a beautiful swimming pool in the back with a large patio. There is an impressive bathroom too for those using the pool with two showers and sinks.

There are many other outside rooms which could be used for various reasons. The main maid’s quarter is currently being transformed into a large office space with a kitchenette and bathroom.

There is also a large playroom with a pantry and bathroom. The nursery outside has been converted into an aviary. There is another sizable room housing the gardening filters and other maintenance equipment. Another room stores the water tanks.

While the garden is a sight to behold, the interior is just as breathtakingly stunning with a mixture of porcelain, carpeting and hardwood flooring, granite countertops, appealing wallpaper and customised chandeliers and lighting fixtures.

The house can also be separated for everyday use and special occasions for those who enjoy entertaining. After pushing through the double-glazed main entrance doors, new owners will be greeted with a small foyer, a private dining room and a lovely lounge. There is a guest closet on the ground floor of the two-storey house.

The spiral staircase to the left leads to bedrooms on the first floor. There is a sizable kitchen and TV room as well as a guest closet, storage rooms, a door to the attic and four large bedrooms including the master. Each room is bigger than the next, each featuring views of the pool, different hardwood flooring and ensuite bathrooms with either tub or shower.

The master bedroom also has a terrace, a dressing room and a massive bathroom with a walk-in shower, ‘his and her’ sinks and a Jacuzzi with a fridge and entertainment system.

A second staircase leads back to the ground floor where there is a carpeted TV room, a porcelain dining area and a fully-kitted open plan kitchen. There is also a guest closet with a vanity, a guest bedroom with an ensuite bathroom and a lift.

After the staircase there is a door on the right which leads to another part of the house that includes a laundry room, another dining room and majlis, a kitchen for heavy cooking and a large space that’s been used for storage. This room could also be used to throw parties or host a majlis in the future. There is also a storage room attached to the majlis.

Once again, sliding doors lead out onto the pool from all rooms on the ground floor. There is also another large maid’s room with an ensuite bathroom.

There are six individually automated garages, three at the back and three in the front of the house and two large electronic gates.
