Arranged over three floors, the house is bright and airy. The rooms are exceptionally well-proportioned and have been stylishly refurbished throughout by the current owners, who have enhanced their home’s many period features whilst incorporating contemporary upgrades. Guests are welcomed into an entrance hall that leads to the principal reception rooms, with a separate ground-floor WC. The impressive drawing room is a particular feature of the property, with its stunning bay window and ornate fireplace with a wood-burning stove. The kitchen is fitted with a charming range of traditional-style units, quartz worktops, and a pretty, patterned floor. Adjoining the kitchen, there is a relaxed dining room/family area with views over the gardens, and there is a utility room that leads out into the gardens. Note: there is an opportunity for a sizeable extension (stpp), with the scope to create a large, upscale feature kitchen/dining room area suitable for modern day living.

On the first floor, the double-aspect master bedroom with ensuite shower room is spacious and striking. The room enjoys an elegant fireplace, incorporates fitted wardrobes and retains many period features. There are two more bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom on the first floor, all tastefully decorated and well appointed. On the second floor, which features attractive wood panelling, there are two good-sized bedrooms and a large contemporary bathroom with a feature bath and walk-in shower. There is plenty of space up here for a playroom, home office suite, or separate guest accommodation. And if you look carefully, you’ll find a secret ‘den’ - concealed behind a bookcase door… every child’s dream! To the outside, there is a tar and chip driveway with parking for several cars, a single garage, and a pleasant garden, laid mainly to lawn, with a separate seating area.  The plot extends to a third of an acre.
