Beyond this a superb 30' kitchen/breakfast room gives access via double and triple French doors to both front courtyard and rear garden. From the dining area or reception hall you head through to a useful study and from this a ground floor bathroom. To the first floor you are met by a landing with plentiful storage, two bedrooms both with fitted storage, wardrobes and airing cupboard, a beautiful family bathroom with free-standing Lusso Stone bath, plus a further dual aspect bedroom with dressing area and space and potential to create an en-suite.
