The spacious and flexible accommodation is arranged over three floors and briefly comprises; on the ground floor there is a welcoming entrance hall providing access to a reception room on your right and kitchen on your left, with staircase rising to the upper floors. The particularly well-proportioned principal reception room adjoins the garden room and has an attractive fireplace with a wood burner. The charming kitchen has a range of bespoke units and includes a slimline dishwasher, fridge/freezer and space for a range style cooker. There are spacious and useful larder and boiler cupboards.
