The welcoming entrance hall leads through to a series of bright and spacious reception rooms, including an impressive formal living room, separate dining room, reception hall and a generous family room. Large sash windows flood the interiors with natural light, while high ceilings and original detailing create a wonderful sense of space throughout.

The recently modernised kitchen has been thoughtfully designed with contemporary cabinetry, stone worktops, a central island, integrated appliances and a traditional AGA, providing an ideal space for both everyday family life and entertaining. A conservatory overlooks the gardens and offers an additional reception space.

Across the upper floors are six well-proportioned double bedrooms. Four benefit from their own en suite shower rooms, whilst a separate family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms. A mezzanine level offers useful additional accommodation suitable as a study, hobby room or storage.

The gardens provide an ideal environment for families, entertaining and outdoor living.
