" This superb property has been sympathetically extended by the current owners and is on the market for the first time since being built in the mid 1990s. The welcoming hall provides access to all reception areas including the drawing room which extends to over 21ft and features an open fire and a large window and glazed door overlooking and giving access to the terrace. Connected to the drawing room is a formal dining room which provides a wonderful entertaining space. More informal dining can be found in the impressive kitchen/dining/family room, comprising a fabulous fitted kitchen with granite work surfaces, integrated appliances and space for an Aga and companion oven. The dining/family area connects superbly to the outside via bi-fold doors, which also provide a lovely outlook. A study, utility room and cloakroom complete the ground floor. On the first floor the striking, part vaulted master suite has an en suite shower room, balcony and a dressing room, which could easily be utilised as a sixth bedroom if required. The four further bedrooms all have built in wardrobes and two benefit from en suite shower rooms. There is also a family bathroom on this level.
