leading into a spacious reception hallway which centres upon a
bespoke made staircase to the lower ground floor and first floor.
The sitting room, which extends to in excess of 20ft in length,
offers triple aspect views over the side garden.
The kitchendining room is arguably the heart of the home, having
been meticulously extended to create a vast living and entertaining
space which is complimented by broad array of bi-fold doors,
allowing for a flood of natural light. The dining area benefits
greatly from a generous roof lantern and stunning, far-reaching
views across the gardens, grounds and neighbouring countryside as
well as access to the rear terrace, which is ideally suited for

bedrooms, both with ensuite bathrooms. A separate dressing room
sits off from bedroom four, giving the potential to create a
bedroom suite in the future as well as a spacious understairs
storage cupboard. The garden room offers a private living space
with French doors leading out onto a small patio which is inset
