The impressive open plan snug and dining room features a vaulted ceiling and a striking log burner, creating a warm and inviting space, perfect for entertaining or relaxing on winter evenings. The well-appointed open-plan dining kitchen forms the heart of the home and benefits from a secondary staircase leading to a galleried landing and the first floor accommodation. The ground floor also includes a WC/boot room, utility room, and access to three cellar rooms together with a wine store. On the first floor, the accommodation comprises a study, which could alternatively be used as a bedroom, a superb principal bedroom suite with an adjoining dressing room/bedroom six and an en suite Jack-and-Jill bathroom.
