The turning staircase adds a sense of grandeur as it leads to the first floor. To the right, double French doors open into a generous lounge that runs from the front to the back of the house. The room is bathed in natural light, thanks to its triple aspect windows, including a bay window at the front that provides a picturesque view and further illuminates the space.
On the ground floor, you'll also find a well-proportioned cloakroom and a versatile reception room, currently used as a study. However, it could easily be adapted to suit various needs, whether as a playroom, or dining room, offering a flexible layout to suit modern family life.

Upstairs, the first floor is home to four generously sized double bedrooms, all of which are bright and airy. The master bedroom benefits from a private en-suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms share access to a newly appointed family bathroom, creating a comfortable and practical layout for families.
