The music room beautifully complements the drawing room with pleasant views over the front aspect, whilst the exceptional sitting room has an inset log burning stove and beautiful bay windows which capture the essence of the mature garden.
The heart of the home is the outstanding family area / dining room which enjoys a dual aspect together with an attractive feature log burner. In addition, French doors open to the rear terrace and garden beyond. The stylish kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of units, integrated appliances, cabinetry, and an AGA.

All bedrooms are in superb decorative order and support the ability of multi-generational living.
