Two further, well-proportioned public rooms can be found off the hallway on the ground level which are presently set up as a second cosy sitting room and a formal dining room with views over the back gardens .These could of course, be reconfigured as required and all 3 public rooms benefit from fully shelved ‘Edinburgh press‘ style cupboards offering excellent storage.

A particular feature of the front gardens in Spring and early summer is the spectacular array of rhododendrons and azaleas.
