The ground floor is entered via a reception vestibule, opening into a stately reception hall that creates a tremendous sense of arrival and sets the tone for the character of this building. The hall features a polished wood floor, a splendid staircase, and a ‘nook’ that provides options for a number of uses including a library/reading area.

The drawing room is especially inviting with its original working fireplace, wood paneled walls and French doors opening the room out to the garden, and the dining room also has a grand presence with wood paneled walls, polished wood floor, three sets of sash windows, and an Adam-style fireplace.

Set within beautifully landscaped gardens, the property is approached via electric gates opening onto a driveway that culminates within the pretty walled front garden containing a rose bed turning circle.

The garden comprises an area of lawn with a variety of well-stocked flower borders and beds, and an original wrought-iron pedestrian gate set within the wall affords access to a ‘secret’ lawned garden with mature shrubs, trees and hedging providing seclusion and privacy. There is also a woodland area, an outdoor heated swimming pool, a pool plant room, and two sheds. Adjoining the house is a heated garden room with double doors opening out to the front garden and also a door providing access to the garage area.
