sitting room overlooking and leading onto the garden. The whole of the this room has underfloor heating. The utilities are well positioned off the kitchen.

Of particular note is the well-proportioned drawing and sitting room which are double aspect with sash windows to

both sides. These principle reception rooms offer spacious entertaining areas and are south and south west facing and are as a result very light rooms.

The bedroom accommodation is spacious and well laid out. Of particular note is the master bedroom suite which overlooks the gardens. On the first floor is a further double bedroom suite, three further double bedrooms and two bathrooms.

The second floor is currently arranged with two bedrooms and a bathroom; however this could also work well as a self-contained flat / guest accommodation.
