A38490JSN65 - Principal House

Step into a beautifully restored and tastefully decorated country house that is flooded with natural light. The formal lounge (28.5m2) offers elegant charm for relaxing afternoons, while the day lounge (27m2) provides a more informal, comfortable space.

The fitted kitchen (23.5m2) is a standout — featuring bespoke bamboo breakfast bar, luxurious granite worktops, and high quality fixtures. Adjacent is a dining room (14m2) for family meals or entertaining, plus a practical utility room (8.5m2). Completing the ground floor is this substantial bathroom (9m2) with a large bath, separate shower, double sink and vanity unit. A separate toilet is next to this.
