Description

An elegant family home, beautifully presented throughout and finished to an exacting standard, with a charming garden and paddock beyond, all set in approximately 1.15 acres.

An attractive panelled front door opens into the elegant double aspect drawing room with a feature stone fireplace and granite hearth, original shutters to the front window, characterful beams.
The dining room is a superb reception room with a white painted Adams style fireplace and marble hearth and slips, ceiling beam, original window shutters and glazed doors opening into the stylish family living kitchen, with a full range of hand-crafted cabinetry by Dayrooms of Tettenhall with granite worktops, a central island and double oven oil fired Aga, ceiling beam and an array of Neff appliances.

Adjoining the kitchen is a laundry room with coordinating units to those in the kitchen, an American fridge Freezer style housing unit, a rear door, and a door to the well-appointed cloakroom.

A door from the kitchen opens into an Atrium with a door leading to further accommodation which could provide the basis for self-contained living with a sitting room with a contemporary Jotul wood burning stove standing on a granite corner plinth with French doors and Windows.

A Inner Hall leads to a well appointed bathroom, a staircase with decorative wrought iron balustrading rises from the inner hall to the 1st floor with a double bedroom with a vaulted ceiling and a further bedroom with dressing room beyond currently used as office space.
