The property is entered from the driveway into a terracotta floor tiled entrance hall with an office/bedroom 5 leading off it, as well as a shower room. This area could be used as a self-contained annexe if desired and also gives access on to the rear patio and garden. This then leads on to a breakfast/dining room and the well equipped kitchen fitted with a range of limed oak units and granite worktops. The kitchen has fantastic views over the rear lawned gardens and includes an integral oven, grill, hob, washing machine and dishwasher. There is also a door to a walk in pantry.
The kitchen leads on to the oak block original entrance hall with front door and access to the dual aspect dining room. The sitting room hosts the beautiful inglenook fireplace, and a large bay window which floods light into the room.
On the first floor there are four bedrooms and two large bathrooms. The principal bedroom is a real feature of the home and boasts a wealth of period features as well as a glorious en suite bathroom with a separate shower.

Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
