Entrance – An impressive introduction to a magnificent home

Approached via a winding pathway through the front garden, offering a fitting introduction to an outstanding home, the front door opens into a practical entrance vestibule, leading through to a reception hall with storage and a cloakroom WC. Here, the tone for the interiors is immediately set with a wealth of period features, and the hall offers space for a cosy seating area set in front of a fireplace with a multi-fuel stove, as well as a charming window seat.

Reception rooms – Three large living areas filled with period charm

The house boasts three wonderfully bright and spacious, impressive reception areas, sure to be perfect for everyday family life and a dream for those who love to host and entertain. All three rooms are enviably south-facing, enjoying fabulous sunshine throughout the day and enjoying peaceful leafy views.

The sitting and drawing rooms echo each other in terms of airy proportions, with the drawing room boasting a slightly larger footprint, both offering ample space for endless configurations of furniture. The rooms both also have large feature bay windows.

The dining room, which also has traditional cornicing, presents the perfect setting for sit-down meals and formal entertaining, with more than enough space for at least an eight-seater table alongside additional furniture.

The sitting room is perfect for relaxing as a family in the evening, with the drawing room offering a more formal space for gatherings. Both have elegant cornicing and stunning fireplaces, with the drawing room further enjoying a beautiful ceiling rose, warm wood flooring, and an adjoining bar area.

On the first floor, a long landing (with a useful study area/reading nook) leads to the home’s five bedrooms and a home office, the latter providing an ideal quiet space for those who study or work from home. The impressive principal bedroom spans a generous footprint and is accompanied by a large dressing room with a wealth of fitted wardrobes, offering a truly luxurious touch, as well as an en-suite shower room.
