Internally the house offers three beautiful reception rooms all with attractive fireplaces and wood burning stoves and a plethora of period features. The triple aspect drawing room is particularly well proportioned with a superb inglenook

The dining room is full of period charm, from which a door leads through to the well-fitted kitchen/breakfast room with breakfast bar. The double aspect kitchen includes underfloor heating, and a door gives access to the rear garden. There is also a charming sitting room, a large downstairs cloakroom/boot room and a large
sandstone and brick cellar.
On the first floor, there are five excellent bedrooms, and two bathrooms. The principal bedroom currently uses a bedroom as a dressing room and has ample fitted cupboards and storage and the family bathroom and shower room are beautifully appointed.

Outside, the property is approached off Snatts Road over a longshared driveway from which a wooden entrance gate leads into the property's entrance drive providing parking for several cars. To one side of the drive is the detached garage and adjacent wood store. The gardens are a particular feature of the property and include lawned areas, mature hedging and a wealth of mature plants and shrubs, including magnolia trees, wisteria, rhododendrons, twisted willow, and hydrangeas. There is a rear terrace with a pool house and heated swimming pool, perfect for al fresco entertaining and to simply enjoy the garden.
From the formal gardens surrounding the house wrought iron gates set between brick piers lead through to the beautiful more informal grounds which include a picturesque pond and further sweeping expanses of lawn and banks of mature rhododendrons. The gardens and grounds provide a very secluded and special setting for this lovely family home. In all about 1.65 acres.
