The main house is configured to provide an elegant and practical living and entertaining environment with the accommodation flowing from a welcoming reception hall with tiled flooring. An elegant sitting room with high ceilings and polished wooden floor and a large bay window, has a fireplace with woodburner as its focal point, and French windows to the garden.
There is a dining room with a fireplace to and from here, bi-fold doors enables easy access to the terrace and garden beyond. On entering the kitchen, there is an immediate sight line towards the striking orangery which offers sitting or breakfast space and which interacts well with this part of the garden. The kitchen has a range of wall and base cabinets, a central island, complementary worktops, a butler’s sink, electric AGA and integrated appliances. A boot room with a door to the driveway and along a path to the Annexe, is accessible from the kitchen and there is a separate laundry too with French doors to the terrace. Also from the hall, there are stairs down to a useful cellar.
The generous first floor landing features a double height glazed turret providing plenty of natural light.
The principal bedroom has an impressive en-suite
shower room, a fireplace and fitted storage. There
are three additional bedrooms, one with an end suite shower room and both with fireplaces and fitted storage, and there is a family bathroom with a exposed brick feature wall and freestanding bath.
Double iron gates open to a gravelled driveway

Close to the house, there is a wraparound decked
