DESCRIPTION The residence is likely of early 19th-century construction, complemented by a substantial extension added in the 1980s.
Ground Floor: Kingslea is entered via a long central reception hall featuring a wide staircase turning to a galleried landing. To the left is a charming sitting room with a bay window, fireplace, and bar area, which opens through double doors into a large drawing room featuring three sets of French doors leading to the terrace. To the right of the hall sits a study/office fitted with bespoke oak furniture and a bay window. The ground floor further comprises a sizeable cloakroom, an impressive dining room with French doors, and a second staircase separated by period panelling.
Kitchen & Services: The breakfast kitchen is equipped with bespoke oak units, granite work surfaces, a central island, an AGA, and a fully fitted pantry. A practical boot room leads to the garden, adjacent to steps descending to the basement, which houses the recently installed gas-fired boilers and services.
Upper Floors: The first floor features the principal bedroom suite, which includes a walkway of fitted cupboards leading to the main bedroom, a dressing room, and a large bathroom. Four additional bedrooms (two ensuite) and two bathrooms are accessed from the main landing. The second staircase continues to a spacious and flexible second floor containing two further bedrooms, a bathroom, and additional storage rooms.

The Annexe
Located at the rear of the property, the annexe was converted approximately two years ago from former stables/coach house. It provides superb additional accommodation, including a dining kitchen with AEG appliances, a cloakroom, and a reception room. There remains scope to develop the first-floor loft space (STPP), which currently contains former stable hand accommodation and bathroom.
