    About this property

    • This wonderful period home is approached via a long gravel driveway which meanders through the parkland style grounds to provide a turning and parking area in front of the four car garage block.

      Stepping into the entrance hallway there is a bespoke Neville Johnson staircase and you are flanked on either side by the sitting room and drawing room. Both of these rooms have some charming features such as the striking high ceilings, original shutters, fireplaces and period architraves. The drawing room has a bright garden room area with lovely views over the grounds.

      To the back of the house there is the hub of family living space with a modern, open plan kitchen / dining room, again with a seating area opening onto the garden. Here you will also find the guest cloakroom and utility room.

      Just off the sitting room is a more casual snug / gym area with another utility room / kitchen. Above this are two bedrooms and a bathroom. This part of the house can be accessed independently, making for a perfect self contained internal annex if needed.

      Moving back to the main house, on the first floor there are four further bedrooms and a family bathroom. The main bedroom has a range of wardrobes and a sumptuous en suite bathroom.

      On the outside, the mature gardens wrap around the house to provide various seating areas with flower and shrub borders.

      Adjacent to the main house is an unconverted coach house with planning in place for conversion into additional living space.
