Off the hall on the front there are two very comfortable reception rooms, one a very charming sitting room with a central fireplace that houses a log burner while the other is currently used as a perfect family room. Both of these double aspect rooms look out across the verandah and the beautiful front garden beyond and indeed have a number of possible uses depending upon the needs of an incoming buyer.
