Much of the original house has been thoughtfully preserved despite its adaption to modern living. <br/><br/>The property is approached through an in and out driveway which leads to a very distinct front door.

The main reception rooms are generous in size with large windows allowing for an abundance of natural light. The kitchen is well equipped linking with an adjoining utility and back door. A study is usefully situated up a small staircase off the dining room, thus discreetly tucked away.<br/><br/>The extensive cellar is accessed from the kitchen and benefits from light wells around the house. A large boiler room at the other end of the house completes the ground floor. <br/><br/>On the first floor, in addition to a delightful, dual aspect main bedroom with bathroom ensuite and separate dressing room, there are a further two double bedrooms, one with an ensuite bathroom and a family bathroom.
