Accommodation Overview
The residence has been extensively modernised by the current owners to an exceptional standard throughout, including a full basement refurbishment with all-new electrics, insulated walls, and soundproofed ceilings in the cinema/games room. The lower ground floor now features a gym room, two generous double bedrooms, and a stunning Victoria Plumbing bathroom with a freestanding roll-top bath and extra-large walk-in showers. New patio doors provide direct access to an outdoor dining area, making this space ideal for a self-contained annexe, guest suite, or rental opportunity.

The main house has also undergone significant improvements including a partial rewire, new boiler, radiator upgrades, and reconfigured bathrooms fitted with high-quality Victoria Plumbing fixtures. The stylish Navy Magnet kitchen is equipped with premium Smeg appliances, quartz and solid oak worktops, central island, and opens through new patio doors onto a recently extended raised composite deck—perfect for entertaining and enjoying the far-reaching valley views and sunsets.

The interior has been tastefully redecorated throughout, retaining original Victorian features while adding new flooring, tiling, quality carpets, and contemporary fittings. Many of the older windows have been replaced, ensuring comfort and energy efficiency.

Layout Highlights
• Entrance Ground Floor: Grand entrance hall with cloakroom, three generous reception rooms with feature fireplaces, including a triple-aspect drawing room with wood-burning stove and French doors to the deck. The kitchen/breakfast room is a true centrepiece. A utility room and a further en suite double bedroom complete this level—ideal as a guest suite, home office, or playroom.
• First Floor: Galleried landing leads to three spacious double bedrooms. The principal bedroom features a luxurious en suite shower room, while bedroom two includes a walk-in dressing room. A family shower room and separate WC complete this floor.
• Second Floor: A dedicated space ideal for teenagers or extended family, offering three double bedrooms, a private lounge, and a well-appointed family bathroom.
• Lower Ground Floor: With its own entrance, this level was formerly a self-contained garden apartment and could easily be reinstated as such. Currently offering a gym, cinema/games room, two double bedrooms, and an exquisite bathroom, the addition of a kitchen (pre-plumbed) would make this level perfect for rental, AirBnB, or as independent living space.
