Ground floor

A grand stone column fronted veranda opens into a spacious entrance vestibule with WC, leading to the bright and airy drawing room which is undoubtedly the heart of the home. This room benefits from numerous features, with the main focal point being a large inglenook fireplace with imposing bressummer beam and inset Carron wood burning stove. A side feature and certainly one worthy of note is the fitted cabinets within the room, which were crafted by the renowned Silverlining furniture group. To the front aspect of the room, double doors open onto the front garden, which during the summer months allows for a welcoming flow from internal to external. Also within the drawing room is the main staircase and a storage cupboard, this cupboard has been utilised to store the servers for the properties security system.

To the rear of the drawing room stairs rise to a further sitting room, this area is perfect for a quieter setting, with a further woodburning stove set in the corner of the room and also has French doors leading out onto the rear gardens. A particular feature of note within this room, is the stone mullion window, overlooking the swimming pool.

Back into the drawing room and to the rear of the room, an inner hallway leads into the kitchen, which is well stocked with floor and wall mounted units beneath a hard wood worktop throughout, with a feature Rayburn stove set within a brick surround. Off the kitchen, there is a utility room with pantry, a further inner hall with WC and internal storeroom, which acts as an ideal wine storage. Also, off the rear hall, but also accessed from the drawing room is a welcoming family dining room, which also has a feature fireplace and a wonderful sash window overlooking the front gardens.

First Floor
A grand staircase rises to the first-floor landing, providing access into all principal rooms. The principal suite has been tastefully designed, with a sloping roof to the front aspect and a Velux window, flooding the room with natural light. The room is well fitted with ample built in storage. Masquerading as a wardrobe, is the entrance into the ensuite. Recently converted, the en suite has been well designed to make use of all the available space and comprises a raised plinth shower enclosure with free standing bath within, a wash hand basin on a corian topped vanity unity and a WC.

There are a further two completed bedrooms on the first floor, the second bedroom is light and spacious with vaulted ceilings, built-in wardrobes and Victorian cast-iron fireplace. The third is currently utilised as a home office but is large enough to function as a bedroom. Both rooms are serviced by the main family bathroom. Finally, set at the end of the hall is a room ripe for conversion, currently the room has been taken back to stone, but would make a fantastic principal or guest suite as the room benefits from a storage area and en suite shower room.

Front Gardens
The property is approached by twin entrances, both of which are behind ornate stone pillars and gates. The driveway flows to a large parking area, which affords space for numerous vehicles. A short stone wall runs along the perimeter of an open expanse of lawn, which has been neatly presented and planted with several giant sequoia trees, these form part of the history of the residence, having been imported from California in 1860. Flowing off the main lawned area is a wild garden, this area runs to the boundary of the property and is where the septic tank is located.
