STEP INSIDE

As one enters, the reception hallway takes your breath away. It is quite simply, stunning and points to the quality and style that is found throughout the house. The stairs are ahead of you and split to both sides taking you up to the galleried landing. Off the hallway there is a study and a family room together with a cloakroom and side lobby. A fine drawing room with high vaulted ceiling and gallery above provides a spectacular room in which to relax. Exposed timbers, brickwork and an Art Deco fireplace really set this room off. Doors open out to the gardens. Adjoining this room is the large dining room which is open plan to the conservatory. A fabulous room to entertain friends and family. The kitchen/breakfast room has been bespoke fitted with an extensive range of units and an island together with numerous integrated appliances including a Japanese hotplate and a steamer.
