Ground floor

Entry is via an attractive storm porch and partly glazed entrance door with fan light above. Once inside your eyes are drawn to the limestone floor which extends to the kitchen and creates a gracious and warm welcome. You will note high ceilings, deep cornice and high skirting which is indictive of what lies beyond. A door to your left gives access to the integral garage which can be converted into another reception room (subject to planning). To the front is the dining room – currently used as a games room. A fine room with Edwardian architrave bay window, complemented with living flame gas fire. The sitting room is equally of good proportion with Edwardian architrave enhanced by recently added cabinetry either side of the fireplace housing a wood burning stove. Moving back into the hallway you will note the utility room and cloaks w/c before entering the capacious open plan kitchen/dining and living room. The open-plan layout allows the kitchen, dining, and living areas to flow seamlessly into one another, creating a sense of spaciousness and togetherness. The Neptune kitchen, with its hallmark craftsmanship and understated luxury anchors the space, while the dining and living zones extend naturally around it.

A large kitchen island often acts as a transition point between the cooking and social areas. It’s ideal for casual breakfasts, entertaining guests with a glass of wine, or serving as a prep zone during cooking.
