The home flows seamlessly through a series of elegant reception rooms including a formal drawing room with feature fireplace and direct garden access, a generous dining room, an elegant study, and a garden room flooded with natural light from skylights and floor-to-ceiling glazing overlooking the patio and grounds.
The kitchen/breakfast room is a cosy, practical space fitted with an Aga and custom cabinetry, offering views across the gardens and direct access to the dining room. A second study and a spacious boot room provide further family-friendly functionality, with internal access to the double garage.
A ground floor bedroom suite, complete with dressing room and adjacent shower room, presents excellent potential for single-level living or guest accommodation.
