The kitchen units are bespoke with range cooker and induction hob, an exceptionally well thought out island unit with built-in seating for seven people and interior arched window looking through into the side hallway.

Off the main hallway is the sitting room with Carrara marble surround to the open fire and adjacent to the study and formal cloakroom.

The huge cathedral sash window completes the grandeur overlooking the garden and trees beyond. There are a further two vaulted bedrooms, these bedrooms have mezzanine levels as well.
