Description

The ground floor comprises of a stunning double height reception hall which straight away gives a warm welcome to the property as well as combining as an excellent place to utilise as a snug room with its wood burning stove and double doors out to the gardens. Off the hall is a generously proportioned kitchen/dining room with bespoke cabinetry set underneath granite worksurfaces and enhancing the country vibe is not one but two AGA ovens. An island unit creates a social aspect to the room and there is ample space for a dining table. A useful utility room and pantry are situated off the kitchen. The Sitting room with its show stopping fireplace and wood burner is both a cosy and large room and with a dual aspect makes for a lovely all year round room to enjoy. The ground floor is completed with a study as well as a further small reception space that could be a good gym space or perhaps children’s playroom or potentially a ground floor bedroom if desired. A family bathroom serves this level.

To the first floor are four bedrooms including the principal room served via an en suite. The remaining bedrooms are served via a family shower room all accessed via the impressive galleried landing. A second floor room accessed off bedroom four could be utilised as ideal guest accommodation or perhaps for an older child seeking more independence. A former kitchenette area would lend itself to converting into another bathroom to service this room if a buyer wished.
