A separate dining room, and a sitting room, are situated at the other end of the hall, both with a range of character features, the latter benefitting from an attractive fireplace with inset gas fire and the dining room has been finished with beautiful wood-panelling. A study and a utility/boot room complete the picture on the ground floor. The first floor plays host to an impressive principal bedroom, complete with a large ensuite bathroom and a walk-through dressing room with an abundance of built-in wardrobes. There are three further, spacious bedrooms on the first floor, and a family bathroom.
