The accommodation is presented to a very high standard throughout, affording all the modern conveniences and attractive décor.

The kitchen, a particular highlight, has plenty of storage within bespoke cabinetry topped with granite work surfaces and features a large central island as well as space for a table for family meals.

In the separate wing of the house, the kitchen is joined by a pantry, utility room, boot room and wc.
