It briefly comprises a dual aspect drawing room and a rear aspect sitting room , both with full-height glazing, a dining room with a full-height front aspect bay window and a wooden-floored study, all four having fireplaces, the study’s with a woodburner. The ground floor accommodation is completed by a modern triple aspect kitchen/breakfast room extension. It has a vaulted ceiling, a range of wall and base units, a large central island, complementary work surfaces and splashbacks, a double Belfast sink, modern integrated appliances and space for a table, numerous sky lanterns and bi-fold doors to the rear garden flooding the whole area with natural light. The property also benefits from generous cellarage with a sink and garden access, suitable for a variety of uses.

On the first floor the property provides a front aspect principal bedroom with fitted wardrobes and an en suite bathroom with twin sinks, freestanding bath and separate shower, a separate fitted dressing room and three further rear aspect double bedrooms, all en suite.
