The entrance hall sets the tone for the house, with a vaulted ceiling, timber detailing and full-height glazing that brings in plenty of natural light. Exposed stonework adds warmth and texture, while a bespoke staircase with glass balustrade provides a striking feature. This space connects the main wings of the house and frames views of the surrounding grounds.

At the centre of the home is a large open-plan living area where the kitchen flows into generous sitting and living spaces. The kitchen is finished in a contemporary style with integrated appliances and a central island, complemented by tiled flooring and underfloor heating. Expansive glazing and skylights make the space bright and airy, and doors open directly to the garden for easy access.

The drawing room is a refined space with exposed timber beams and a feature fireplace, while the dining room is designed for entertaining, with large windows overlooking the gardens and countryside.

The main house provides five bedrooms in its current configuration, each finished in a calm, neutral style. The principal suite is a standout feature, with a spacious layout, garden views and a well-appointed en-suite with walk-in shower and double vanity. Additional bedrooms offer flexibility for family and guests, and the bathrooms are finished to a high standard with walk-in showers, large-format tiles and quality fittings.
