The kitchen itself is fitted with a aga, a range of contemporary wall and floor-mounted units, together with a selection of integrated appliances, an induction hob and boiling water tap. A large corner wood-burning stove adds both warmth and character.
Full-height glazing along the western elevation allows an abundance of natural light into the room while providing attractive views across the gardens and adjoining land. Bi-folding doors open directly onto the patio, making the space particularly well suited to entertaining and allowing for an easy transition between the house and garden.
The principal bedroom is dual aspect and takes full advantage of the property's attractive outlook, with views extending across the gardens and adjoining land. It also benefits from a walk-in wardrobe.
The five remaining bedrooms are all well proportioned and offer flexibility for family members, guests or home working. They are served by a combination of bath and shower rooms positioned across the two floors.
