Upstairs a spacious and light-filled landing has a wonderful outlook across the garden, wooden panelling and doors leading to all rooms. The master bedroom is a large room with a lovely outlook across the front lawn and toward the Tyndale Monument and generous fitted wardrobes, while the two remaining bedrooms on this floor are well proportioned doubles. The family bathroom is a good size with both a bath and a separate shower.
A timber cottage staircase leads from the landing to the attic which is configured as three rooms, a large attic room with two useful bedrooms/home offices at either end. This is a fabulous space with huge potential for modernisation/conversion.
Outside the outbuildings offer a great deal of potential also, subject to obtaining the necessary planning and building permissions. The gardens are extraordinary with mowed paths meandering through lawns, wild flowers and woodland and there is a wonderful outlook over the open countryside beyond. The front garden also laid to lawn is framed by established trees and shrubs and has a productive southerly facing vegetable garden.
