The ground floor features three principal reception rooms with a completely bespoke and individual layout. At the front of the property, a 33 ft. sitting room showcases a grand fireplace with a fitted log burner. The space flows into a conservatory-style alcove, large enough to accommodate a family dining table, and with French doors opening directly onto the garden.

Three of the additional bedrooms benefit from en suite facilities, complemented by a family bathroom. Above the attached garage, a staircase leads to a spacious home office with access to eaves storage. This room also has its own adjoining shower room, creating the flexibility to use it as a guest bedroom or self-contained annexe.

The property enjoys a peaceful and private position towards the end of St. Leonard’s Hill. At the front, a generous driveway provides ample parking, as well as access to a four-car garage offering further parking, extensive storage, and workshop space.
