The ground floor provides beautifully designed bedrooms set off a central hallway, offering a peaceful and private space. Each bedroom has been carefully considered and finished in luxurious neutral tones. The principal bedroom suite is a true highlight of the property. It is generously proportioned and elegantly styled to create a stunning room. This impressive space is complemented by a dressing area, complete with fitted storage, which leads through to a stylish ensuite bathroom, completed with high quality sanitary-ware and detailing.

There are 2 further bedrooms on the ground floor which are equally well presented and offer flexible rooms for family or guests, or for alternative uses, such as a home office. There is a ground floor house bathroom which serves these 2 bedrooms, designed with both practicality and style in mind. Completing the ground floor is a well-appointed utility room, providing a practical and discreet space for laundry and additional storage. Bespoke designed by Dan Hurtley, the quality is second to none.

The first floor forms the heart of the home, with an expansive open plan living / kitchen / dining space, which creates a bright and welcoming area. The kitchen, which has also been bespoke designed and fitted by local cabinetry maker Dan Hurtley, has both form and function in mind, with high quality cabinetry, sleek work surfaces and integrated appliances. Beyond the main kitchen area is an additional prep and panty area which complements the main kitchen space.

The dining area offers a substantial space with an outlook to the front of the property, providing a drinks and bar area to complement the kitchen space. The adjoining living space is equally as impressive, being a light-filled room, with large windows framing the outlook over the garden.
