Entrance is under an oak timbered porch with tiled roof through a bespoke wide front door into the reception hall. To the far end is the staircase with storage underneath. Both the sitting room and family room/study are found to the front of the house. The sitting room has a corner inset fireplace with an inset Clearview woodburner and the family room/study has a jet master grate. The inner hall is off the main reception hall and has a storage cupboard and this is also where the boiler is located. A door then leads into the utility room with cloakroom. Double glazed doors take you through to the kitchen breakfast room at the back of the property which has the most wonderful views and towards the dining end are French doors leading onto an elevated terrace, perfect for “al fresco” dining. The green kitchen units are by The Unfitted Kitchen company, with American Walnut worktops. There is underfloor heating throughout.
