The property opens to a welcoming hallway with white limestone and black marble floor benefitting from under-floor heating which continues throughout the entire ground floor. Immediately off the hallway to the front elevation is the bay front sitting room with original Victorian shutters, multi fuel stove and bespoke cabinets in the alcoves.
Also off the hallway is the kitchen with contrasting wall and base units, as well as a freestanding butchers block style island, a bespoke wrought iron pan rack, Stoves multi fuel 5 burner/3 oven range cooker, instant hot water tap, American style fridge/freezer, waste disposal unit, integrated wine cooler, integrated Siemens dishwasher, and Siemens washing machine.
Beyond the kitchen the current owners have had built a magnificent sun room extension which has become the hub of the home and even has a home cinema system. This sociable space is light and airy thanks to the high vaulted ceiling with natural light coming in from six Velux windows. There is ample space for flexible seating arrangements for dining or casual seating. French Doors from here into the garden.
The snug can be accessed either from the sun room or off the entrance hallway and offers a flexible use space, with mutli fuel stove and bespoke cabinets in the alcoves.

The front facing bedroom is the larger of the two rooms and has built in wardrobes and plantation shutters.

To the rear is a lawned garden with raised borders, edged with oak sleepers, flowers and shrubs.
