Stepping through the original stained-glass porch, the grandeur is immediately apparent. The magnificent reception hall, rich with oak panelling, bespoke staircase, and feature fireplace, ascends to an equally impressive landing illuminated by a striking stained-glass roof lantern.

Three principal reception rooms showcase the home’s Georgian elegance: A bay-fronted sitting room with a white English marble fireplace, a formal dining room with ornate ceiling detailing and another marble surround fireplace, and a refined study with bespoke oak bookcases and a copper-detailed fireplace.

To the rear, an expansive home cinema and bar offers the ultimate in entertaining, with bespoke bay seating, beautiful integrated media wall, and bar with twin fridges.
