A panelled half glazed front door leads into the entrance hall and through to the central hallway, which with a Velux window light above, gives access to the reception rooms and bedrooms for the property. The drawing room is a superbly proportioned room with a semi-vaulted ceiling, large windows to the front and side, oak flooring, an open fireplace capable of housing a log/multi-fuel burning stove and currently housing a low maintenance electric feature stove.
