At present the accommodation comprises:

A welcoming vestibule leads into an impressive reception hall, where a feature spiral staircase creates an immediate sense of character and scale.

The ground floor offers a superb selection of reception spaces, including a bright bay-windowed sitting room enjoying picturesque views over the gardens and French doors opening to a deck terrace. A second, more informal family room features a wood burner and French doors opening onto a generous decked terrace, perfectly positioned to overlook the rear garden. A versatile music room provides additional flexibility and could easily serve as a study or family room. This space connects seamlessly to a charming conservatory, an ideal spot for relaxing while enjoying uninterrupted views of the garden, further enhancing the home's connection to its natural surroundings.

The formal dining room sits conveniently adjacent to the kitchen, creating an ideal setting for entertaining. The dining room could easily be reconfigured to create an additional bedroom. The kitchen itself is centrally positioned, well connected to the main living areas, and complemented by a separate utility room for added practicality.

A particular highlight is the ground floor bedroom suite, complete with dressing room and en-suite bathroom. This offers excellent flexibility for guests, multi-generational living, or those seeking the ease of predominantly single-level accommodation.

A further bathroom is also located on this level.

Upstairs, a bright central landing leads to two substantial double bedroom suites, each benefiting from fitted storage and private en-suite facilities, ensuring a high degree of comfort and privacy. Both rooms enjoy lovely open views across the gardens and surrounding countryside.
