The ground floor features a large, open-plan living area with cherrywood flooring. The dining area benefits from a vaulted ceiling and wrap-around windows, creating a seamless flow into the living space overlooking the garden. The stunning lounge with its feature-sized wood burner is a great room for entertaining and relaxing. A covered balcony surrounds the main living area, offering a delightful outdoor vantage point overlooking the garden and woods beyond. This floor also includes a large home office with direct access to the side garden. With an adjacent shower room, this could become a sixth bedroom offering easy access to the main living/dining area.

From the inner hall, stairs descend to the lower floor where three bedrooms are located. All these rooms have doors leading directly to the garden. One bedroom on this floor has an en suite shower room, with the remaining two being served by a family bathroom. Also on this floor is the media family room, offering a fantastic space for relaxation and entertainment. Doubling as a utility room, the plant room contains the main heating and communications/multimedia systems, hot water cylinder, water softener, a large sink, and space for a washing machine and tumble drier. The principal bedroom is located on the top floor, with views over the landscaped garden. A spacious en suite features a bath and separate shower. Consistent with all five bath/shower rooms, the suite comprises a Villeroy and Boch low-level WC and wash basin. A walk-in dressing room, with fitted hanging space and shelves, completes the principal suite. Also on the top floor is a guest suite with an elegantly appointed shower room. Mirroring the overall size of the master suite, the guest suite has a multi-aspect seating area on the galleried landing, which overlooks the front of the property as well as the main living/dining area. Both suites open on to their own private balconies that can comfortably accommodate a table and chairs.
