THE PROPERTY

The entrance hall, where there is also a cloakroom and coats cupboard, gives access via a glazed glass door into a large dining room. From here access is given to the drawing room with a bay window with double doors leading out into the garden. The triple aspect drawing room is a tremendous feature of the property and has an attractive fireplace with inset wood burner and stone mantel over. An opening from here leads through into the garden room with another set of double doors leading out onto the garden this room is also complimented with a roof lantern. There is parquet flooring throughout the dining room, drawing room and garden room. In the dining room access is given to the fantastic kitchen/breakfast room which features a range of hand-built base and eye units, a central island unit and a four door Everhot electric stove. The Kitchen/breakfast room is further complimented by a fabulous walk-in larder, integrated appliances including Perrin and Rowe hot tap, two dishwashers, wine fridge, fridge and freezer. There are double doors out to the garden and a further door leads into a useful boot room with an array of cupboards.

From here access is given via two doors to the front and back of the property. Accommodation in this part of the property also includes a study, utility room, playroom and an additional cloakroom. From here a secondary staircase leads up to a fifth bedroom with adjacent bathroom (this area of the house would be ideal for a dependent relative or such like).
