The hallway is most welcoming with attractive wooden flooring and new paintwork with solid oak doors leading into the main reception rooms to the ground floor.

The main living room enjoys a dual aspect with a magnificent, exposed brick fireplace with an oversized log burner positioned under a quaint oak mantle. This certainly creates a focal point to the room. French doors provide access through to the upmost impressive family living area with underfloor heating and elegant tiled flooring. There is an additional log burner, perfect for use in the winter months and the three sets of bifold doors invite the garden inside on warmer days. The large atrium sky light floods this main reception area with a copious amount of natural light.

The modern and extremely spacious kitchen has room for a dining table with plentiful storage and work top space. The quaint pantry is situated adjacent to the kitchen.

The garage can be accessed from the family living area with separate sink and worktop, creating the perfect place for a utility room and daily jobs.

The downstairs guest WC completes the ground floor accommodation.
