The five double bedrooms on the first floor include two magnificent bedroom suites that replicate the reception rooms below and enjoy southerly views across the garden and up the valley. The guest bedroom suite sits on the western wing, slightly apart and contained. A secondary staircase concealed behind a door ascends to the second floor, formerly the servants’ space, and now a fully renovated games and store room with a good ceiling height and plenty of natural light. Here are four dormer windows, three Velux windows and a gable window, electric heating and full insulation to the floor and ceiling.
Outside - Wrought iron gates within stone pillars open to a gravel driveway that passes between the garage and arc of lawn and sweeps in front of the house providing a generous turning and parking area. The large double garage has power and light and can accommodate two SUV vehicles along with storage behind. A drop-down ladder ascends to a room above, also with power and light. The rear garden faces directly south across the gardens and grounds. Abutting the house is a sunny paved stone terrace and beyond is an expanse of lawn with herbaceous borders either side, presided over by a majestic Cedar Atlantica. The grounds rise steeply behind the ha-ha to an extensive area of grassland and light woodland from where there are far-reaching views across the village rooftops and hills. Winding gravel paths form leafy walkways. In addition, there are 24 fruit trees, a vegetable garden and a mellow south-facing kitchen garden wall adorned with espalier fruit trees and a hardy fig where a Victorian greenhouse once stood.
