Configured to provide a characterful yet practical setting for both everyday living and entertaining, the property combines modern amenities, generously proportioned rooms, high ceilings, and neutral décor with charming period features such as turreted rooms, sash windows, and original fireplaces.
The accommodation flows from a welcoming reception hall, set within the turret, which features a curved front-aspect wall with a stained glass window, chequerboard-tiled flooring, and Jack and Jill access to a modern family bathroom. From here, the layout comprises a central front-aspect sitting room with a feature fireplace and a door leading to a part-vaulted, dual-aspect kitchen. The kitchen is fitted with a range of contemporary high-gloss wall and base units, complementary work surfaces, and modern integrated appliances.
