These include exposed timbers, oak and parquet flooring, traditional sash windows, bespoke fitted cabinetry and striking brick fireplaces, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout. The principal sitting room provides an elegant space for entertaining, while additional reception rooms offer flexibility for use as a formal dining room, family room, study or playroom.

At the heart of the house lies a thoughtfully redesigned kitchen, blending classic styling with modern practicality. The kitchen is complemented by a separate utility room and provides an ideal setting for day-to-day family life. There is also a cloaks w/c with shower cubicle.

Adding further character and practicality to the property is an impressive cellar, accessed directly from the dining room. Ideal for entertaining, it provides a perfect space for the storage and easy retrieval of wine and other provisions when hosting guests. The cellar also benefits from a second access point from the rear garden, making it both highly practical and versatile.

First and Second floors

The upper floors provide five to six spacious double bedrooms and three bath or shower rooms, allowing ample accommodation for family members and guests alike. The principal bedroom suite enjoys a particularly generous layout and attractive views over the gardens. A comprehensive loft conversion completed in 2022 has further enhanced the property, creating an exceptional top-floor guest suite together with a dedicated cinema room, ideal for modern family living.
