A side hall leads to the kitchen/dining room between the useful rear hall/boot room and utility room. The kitchen/dining room is beautiful and tastefully presented with a wide range of base and eye level units under Corian worksurfaces, space for a range style electric cooker with extractor hood above, integrated dishwasher, full height Bosch fridge and freezer, built-in wine racks, French doors opening to the front and an exposed original brick wall. A cloakroom leads off the dining area.

With a vaulted ceiling the garden room has French doors out to the patio terrace and delightful views of the grounds. There is also a study, which features built-in shelving and cupboards to one wall.
On the first floor, a galleried landing leads to the two main bedrooms, both of which benefit from part vaulted ceilings, en-suite shower rooms and built-in wardrobe cupboards. A further landing area leads to two more double bedrooms and a stylishly presented family bathroom which features both a bath and separate shower enclosure.
