ACCOMMODATION

Visitors are welcomed into the spacious reception hall, with a contemporary glass sided staircase rising to the first-floor and a door leading into the 28ft family sitting room. As well as offering fantastic proportions, the sitting room also houses a 12kw wood burner and a set of internal bi-folding doors that open into the living/dining area which extends across the full width of the ground floor. The living area was added as part of a programme of improvements in 2013/2014 and offers versatile reception space, which is currently arranged into a dining area and an additional seating area. Two expanses of glazing with double doors provide a pleasant aspect down the garden and access out on to the patio.

Integrated appliances include a Bosch double oven, 4-ring hob, microwave and dishwasher, with a bespoke recess for an American style fridge/freezer.
