Leading from the dining area is an additional reception room, currently utilised as a utility space, offering excellent versatility and the potential to be adapted as a study or further living accommodation. This area is complemented by a convenient ground-floor cloakroom.

The main lounge is a striking focal point of the home, boasting an impressive double-height ceiling that creates a wonderful sense of space and light, making it an inviting room in which to relax and unwind.
