The cottage-style kitchen with an archway opening into the dining room provides a sociable yet functional space. A sizeable conservatory floods in sunlight overlooking the beautiful gardens, a dedicated home office provides a quiet and practical space for remote working or study, and a convenient ground floor WC and utility room completes the downstairs accommodation. While the useful cellar offers excellent additional storage and exciting potential for a variety of uses. Upstairs the landing leads to three well proportioned bedrooms, all offering comfortable living space, together with a substantial family bathroom fit with a shower and bathtub to serve the first floor.
