The Accommodation - The property offers an exceptional arrangement of accommodation extending to over 4,300 sq ft, designed to suit both family living and entertaining. A welcoming reception hall leads to well-proportioned principal reception rooms, including a bright main living area and a more intimate snug, both enjoying attractive views over the grounds. A standout feature is the impressive open-plan kitchen and dining space, extending to over 44 ft, creating a superb hub of the home with direct access to the outside.

A fifth bedroom sits more privately and connects to a versatile mezzanine space, ideal as a games room, studio or additional living area.

A substantial detached outbuilding provides excellent additional space, currently arranged as garaging with offices above and a cinema room below.

This highly versatile building is well suited to home working, leisure use or storage, and complements the main house perfectly.
