THE GROUND FLOOR
The enclosed church porch opens into the main hall, where there is a cloakroom, under-stairs storage, and the first of two staircases rising to the upper floor. To the right, a bright dining room enjoys a triple aspect with a box bay window, and a brick fireplace with cupboards to either side. To the left of the hallway is an open reception and breakfast rooms, creating an open and versatile space for entertaining. The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and floor units, incorporating a sink, electric hob with extractor above, Neff twin oven, and fridge.

The breakfast room leads to the secondary hallway, with further under-stairs storage, the second stairway and a church porch which leads to the outside.
