A modern family bathroom completes this floor. From the landing, a door reveals ‘ship ladder’ stairs leading to a substantial carpeted loft space with lighting and power, perfect for storage.

One of the property’s many highlights is the unique guest wing, forming part of the original 1930s thatched-roof section of the house, which is Curtilage Listed and benefits from a recently installed thatched ridge. Accessed via the utility room, this characterful suite includes an upstairs panelled bedroom - formerly the driver’s accommodation - together with a traditional-style shower room below and an understairs butler’s kitchen area with belfast sink and space for a mini fridge.

The garage, currently arranged for storage and divided by a stud wall (removable if desired), includes an EV charging point. Please note: The photo of the garage storage area includes CGI furnishing to depict a potential room layout.
