The Property

A traditional wooden front door opens into a welcoming entrance vestibule and onwards into the main hallway, where high ceilings, period detailing and wooden flooring immediately set the tone. A partially glazed door draws the eye through to the garden beyond, hinting at the tranquil retreat that awaits. A generous storage cupboard and recently decorated cloakroom provide practical convenience.

Kitchen & Reception Spaces

With shaker-style cabinetry, ample work surfaces and integrated appliances, it offers space for a substantial dining table, ideal for relaxed family gatherings. A sash window with wood-panelled surrounds creates a charming seating nook to the front.

To the rear, the elegant sitting room is a grand yet comfortable reception space. Two large windows frame garden views and allow natural light to pour in. A decorative ceiling rose; cornicing, wooden flooring and feature fireplace complete this refined setting.
