Layout wise, this is a house of considerable merit. The first floor has been redesigned to create an outstanding principal bedroom with separate dressing room and a luxurious en suite whilst two further double bedrooms are served with a family bathroom. The layout of the first-floor rooms could be re-configured if desired to provide four bedrooms.

The ground floor is very flexible. The combination of rooms provides superb open plan spaces for large family gatherings and entertaining friends whilst separate rooms provide more intimate areas for relaxation, watching TV and home working.

The real highlight though is the open plan kitchen family dining room. Wow!
