The Property

Upon entering you are welcomed by a practical and well-equipped utility room which includes fitted cupboards, ample room for a washing machine and tumble dryer, a large butler sink, and an adjoining shower room.

The room flows into the dining room, separated by a half-brick wall that could easily be removed to create an open plan kitchen dining area.

The dining room is both functional and versatile, with an ‘L’ shaped layout that includes a cozy snug or reading room to the left. This snug area features ceiling-height bookcases and a bay window with delightful views of the gardens. To the right, there is a generously sized study with built-in storage, perfect for working from home. The bright conservatory, accessed from the dining room, benefits electrically operated blinds and leads out to the large patio dining area and the beautifully maintained gardens.

The impressive drawing room is a standout feature of the property, boasting a vaulted ceiling, log-burning stove, and exposed stonework. Patio doors open onto a side patio, while four tall windows flood the space with natural light and provide views over the grounds.
