Upon entry through the reception hall, a grand sweeping double staircase greets you immediately capturing the grandeur of the home. The reception rooms display exquisite Georgian cornice detailing and are beautifully proportioned for refined entertaining or relaxed day-to-day living.

The lower ground floor reveals a world of leisure ideal for hosting friends and family, from the cinema room, games room, gym (also the plant room), to a characterful restored wine cellar for the discerning collector.

Framed by elevated views across the formal gardens, the spacious principal bedroom enjoys a calm and comforting ambience, elegantly flooded with natural light throughout the day. It is thoughtfully complemented by a beautifully appointed ensuite bathroom also overlooking the grounds.
