Stairs lead up to the double aspect kitchen, which has handmade cabinetry, granite work surfaces, Falcon range cooker, Butler sink and integrated dishwasher.
Off the kitchen is a double aspect dining room, which has a contemporary wood burning stove and enjoys views over the high street. Flowing from the dining area is a hallway, which in turn leads to a delightful sitting room with a wood burning stove and French doors to a terrace ideal for al fresco dining. There is also a snug overlooking the high street with a handsome cast iron fireplace.
On the second floor are three generous double bedrooms. The principal bedroom has wonderful views of the high street and a door leading directly to the jack and jill bathroom.

To the rear, Mansard House enjoys an excellent south-west facing garden, which can be accessed either through a side gate on Chopping's Hill or through the house itself. The garden is split into different levels. The first level is partly laid with shingle and partly paved. Stairs lead to a decked balcony and the remainder of the garden has been laid to lawn and interspersed with a variety of flowers and shrubs.
