Approach
The impressive frontage of the property boasts a large driveway, offering access to both the main house and the period, coach house side extension. The entire structure was built with custom brick and high-quality materials, sourced locally. The original windows, featuring high-spec, hand-rolled glass and panelled shutters, provide the option to close for privacy or open to enjoy picturesque sunset views over the tree-lined parkland just opposite.

Ground Floor
Upon entering the restored, sizeable front door, you are greeted by an internal porch and grand hallway, featuring corbelled archway, original flagstone floor, access to various rooms, cloakroom and cellar. The front reception room features contemporary décor with hand color-washed walls, a deep-shuttered bay window flooding the room with natural light, and a recently installed log burner in the fireplace, making it the perfect place to unwind. Shutter-style partitioning opens to the second reception room, offering flexibility for an open-plan aspect or separation between the two rooms, both accessible from the hallway. The second reception room showcases original flooring, a feature non-functioning fireplace with a cast-iron, tiled surround, and beautiful views over the rear garden.
Flowing towards the rear is the breakfast room, adjacent to the kitchen, providing an excellent space for entertaining and family dining. This room features another cast-iron fireplace and antique radiator. The kitchen boasts original blue brick flooring and quartz tiling, with charming wall-mounted cupboards, base units with wooden work surfaces, and bronze fittings.

Off the second reception room, you access 'The Coachhouse,' an extended space that could be used as a bedroom, office, gym or entertainment room. It features a shuttered, large arched window to the front and access to a ground floor shower room, serving as an ensuite with a shower cubicle, low-level flush WC, and hand wash basin.
