The ground floor is split between the main and formal side of the house with the drawing room, dining room, kitchen and a guest bedroom with the games room a link to two further rooms. Off the main entrance hallway is the kitchen giving a large room with wall and floor units and a breakfast area with patio doors to the terrace / balcony, a feature that spans the kitchen and reception rooms.

Double doors bring you into the generous dining room, also accessed off the hallway, again with patio doors to the terrace and overlooking the expansive lawns of the garden. Further along is the triple aspect Drawing Room with a clever placing of the windows to take in the gardens below. A feature fireplace with wood burner is a focal point. A door then leads back to the hallway, passing a useful office area; if required.

Stairs lead down to the lower half of the house with a further 3 bedrooms and a family bathroom before getting to the Master Bedroom suite containing an en suite bathroom and a walk in dressing room adjacent. The 3 front facing bedrooms have access to the lower patio area and give different views over the private gardens.

Back at the top of the stairs there is a guest bedroom with good wardrobes built in and a shower room next to it and a large utility room, all conveniently near the kitchen.

Access through the porch at the front door, leads to a games room a cloakroom and two further rooms currently used as a sewing room and garden room. This part of the house lends itself to a dependant relative or guest wing having its own patio area affording views towards the lawn and ornamental trees.

The expanse of lawn gives great depth to the gardens and wraps around the house with machinery stores and a greenhouse at the back before continuing to the lawned area to the western side. The electric driveway gates give privacy and security off the country lane and sweeps up to the house and beyond to the double garage and has a secondary link back to the gates.
