Upon entering through the original front porch, the tone is set with an immediate feeling of grandeur. The original door opens into a breathtaking hallway where high ceilings soar overhead and detailed plasterwork adorns every edge, from the coving to the ornate ceiling roses. Luxurious patterned carpeting and opulent wall finishes reflect the home’s classical elegance, creating a first impression that is both majestic and inviting.

To the right, the grand lounge unfolds, a magnificent reception room designed for both comfort and ceremony.

The room is surrounded by intricate plaster coving and decorative mouldings that crown the walls and extend gracefully across the ceiling, forming bespoke designs that showcase extraordinary craftsmanship. A traditional gas fireplace stands proudly as the focal point of the room, while large windows flood the space with natural light and a stunning chandelier completes the aristocratic atmosphere. Flowing naturally through a wide archway, the lounge leads to the formal dining area, a spectacular space designed for grand entertaining. Continuing the same refined décor, this room easily accommodates a large dining suite and features another exquisite chandelier. Whether hosting special occasions or intimate gatherings, this room offers an elegant setting where classic style meets generous space. Patio doors open to the south-facing garden, allowing the grandeur of the interior to flow seamlessly into the tranquillity of the outdoors. The garden, bathed in sunlight throughout the day, provides a private retreat perfect for relaxation and entertaining, offering a peaceful backdrop that enhances the overall charm of the home. As well as including a detached garage, additional powered outhouse and large garden shed.

To the rear of the property, the kitchen continues the theme of generous proportions and practicality, with extensive storage options, modern cream cabinetry with wooden worktops and fully tiled walls and flooring for a clean, polished aesthetic. From here, you step into a second reception room, an inviting, informal living area previously enjoyed as a snug, perfect for peaceful evenings or relaxed family time. Branching off from the kitchen is a large utility room offering excellent additional storage and functionality, creating a practical buffer between the outdoor space and the main living areas. At the end of this hallway is the fully tiled downstairs bathroom, finished in a striking combination of cream and emerald green marble-effect tiling, echoing the home’s rich and luxurious style.

Returning to the hallway, to the left of the main entrance at the front of the home lies a beautifully proportioned ground floor bedroom, offering ample space for a king-sized bed along with bespoke built-in wardrobes. A particularly special feature of this room is the hidden ensuite, cleverly disguised behind what appear to be wardrobe doors. Stepping through reveals a private bathroom finished in stunning marble-style tiling with cream and coral tones, complemented by a substantial countertop vanity and gold-framed shower enclosure, evoking the grandeur of classical European interiors.

Ascending the golden staircase, with its elegant metalwork and decorative design, you are greeted by a landing that continues the property’s exceptional detailing. The hallway features rich red carpeting, gold accents, plaster-panelled lower walls and marble-effect wallpaper above, all framed by high ceilings that create an incredible sense of volume and light. At the rear of the property, two expansive bedrooms offer peaceful retreats, each with ornate coving, large windows and beautiful views across the south-facing garden. To the front, two additional rooms provide versatile accommodation, ideal for use as bedrooms, office space, a dressing room or nursery, ensuring the home can adapt effortlessly to the needs of modern living while preserving its stately elegance.

Completing the upper floor is the grand family bathroom, a showpiece of classical luxury. Here, the same exquisite marble-effect tiling found downstairs wraps the room in opulent texture, while a magnificent bathtub invites indulgence. The golden corner shower enclosure, bidet, statement lighting and detailed plasterwork all combine to create a bathroom of exceptional distinction, echoing the style of grand European residences.

Externally, the property is complemented by a private driveway, garage and beautifully maintained grounds.
