The large, double-glazed windows and French doors are a feature of the architectural style affording an abundance of natural light to flood throughout the property as well as frame the outlook over the gardens. Since purchasing the property in 2001, the current owners have tastefully upgraded and enhanced the house, creating a stylish and well-presented home, including climate control which provides air conditioning throughout the home.Other features such as central vacuuming, net screening and other useful features all lend to comfort with practicality.

Leading off from the wide and welcoming reception hall, a bright and airy, free flowing reception space has polished tiled flooring and a high, vaulted ceiling, overlooked by internal balconies together with a magnificent, floor to ceiling window and French doors, creates an exceptional living/entertaining space. The two formal reception rooms to the front of the house, each have wide bay windows with the drawing room currently used as a working from home space and is therefore fully fitted with storage and filing solutions as well as desks. Enjoying a dual aspect and with French doors to the rear garden, the sitting room has an open fire.

The principal bedroom suite has a private balcony and a luxuriously appointed, very spacious, octagonal shaped en-suite bath and shower room, along with a fully fitted dressing room that has been formed from the fifth bedroom, which could easily be re-instated if required. The three further bedrooms are all spacious, with one having an en-suite shower room and a private balcony, whilst the family bathroom services the remaining two.
