The Residence And It'S Studio Annexes - The approach to Higher Parsonage is either via a sweeping tarmac tree-lined drive to car parking areas adjacent to the residence, or a secondary drive to the detached double garage.

On the first floor is a spacious Landing with outlook to the rear grounds, an Airing Cupboard and off which is a superb main spacious Bedroom with double aspect enjoying the superb views - it is considered that this bedroom could be divided into two if desired. There is a second large Bedroom and a central fully tiled Bathroom with bath with Victorian style mixer tap shower fitment, washbasin and wc.

Both are delightfully presented to the market and include open-plan Kitchen, Living and Bedrooms with L-shaped comprehensive modern kitchen ranges. Each Studio Annexe also includes a separate Shower Room with modern fittings including showers, vanity washbasins and wcs.
