Radiating from this central space are entrances to the reception rooms, kitchen, and ground-floor shower room. Ascend the impressive staircase to access the first floor.
Dubbed the 'Morning Room,' this luminous sitting area with elevated ceilings, ornate coving, and picturesque picture rails invites the morning sun through a large walk-in bay window. Perfect for indulging in morning coffee while admiring the gardens, the room's stone wall adds a distinctive touch. Radiators and plush carpeting complete the scene.
A formal living room spanning 7.19m x 4.45m, boasting side and rear feature windows along with a capacious walk-in bay window at the front.

Decorative coving and picture rails accentuate the sophistication, while wood flooring and radiators provide both comfort and style.
The modern ground floor shower room encompasses a double shower cubicle, WC, and a vanity basin set into elegant cabinetry. Tiled walls and floors create an upscale ambiance, enhanced by the practicality of a generous storage cupboard.
An expansive, interconnected family area housing the kitchen, dining area, and a cozy 'snug.' The kitchen features a tasteful array of two-tone wall and base units crowned with a solid wood block worktop. The 'Country Kitchen' vibe is accentuated by grain-effect 'Shaker' doors, a ceramic sink, a central island, and a gas-fueled AGA nestled within a majestic stone fireplace. Integrated dishwasher, American Fridge Freezer space, and tiled floors add to the allure. The capacious dining area accommodates a full-sized family table and chairs, complemented by a rear courtyard-facing window and a TV point.
A retreat for relaxation, the 'Snug' presents a wood burner and double doors that open onto the rear courtyard garden.
A generous landing bathed in natural light from a stunning glazed 'lantern' window serves as a gateway to the bedrooms and bathroom.
The residence encompasses a series of well-appointed bedrooms, each characterized by distinctive touches. From the spacious front-facing bedroom with its decorative picture rail, to the rear-facing double bedroom with fitted wardrobes and en-suite, and further bedrooms adorned with similar elegant features, the entire floor is a haven of comfort and style.
A Victorian-inspired bathroom suite boasting a freestanding roll-top bath, shower cubicle, standalone vanity wash basin, and top flush WC, all harmoniously arranged to evoke timeless charm.
As you approach the property's sweeping driveway leading to the turning circle, the extensive main gardens unfurl to your right. The lush lawns, punctuated by mature trees and verdant borders, envelop the residence. Abundant parking space caters to numerous vehicles, including the option to accommodate a caravan or motorhome. A detached oak-framed garage with a slate roof and additional storage sheds provide practical solutions.
