Internal Descriptions

Approached via a lavender-lined pathway, the property is entered beneath an impressive portico into a grand and welcoming reception hall, where timber flooring and a turning staircase immediately establish the character and proportions of the house. The principal drawing room is an elegant and beautifully proportioned space, with sash windows overlooking the gardens, a feature fireplace and fitted shelving and cupboards, while a second generous reception room provides a superb living and dining space with views across the south-facing garden and a fireplace with Bath stone hearth and surround. A further reception room, currently used as a home office, offers excellent flexibility and could equally serve as a playroom, music room, snug or additional sitting room.

The kitchen is both spacious and practical, with fitted cabinetry, parquet flooring and attractive leaded-light windows allowing plenty of natural light, while a walk-in larder provides useful additional storage. A separate butler’s kitchen offers further preparation and cooking space, particularly useful for entertaining, and from the kitchen a secondary entrance hall leads to a generous utility and boot room with direct access to the garden. A bright conservatory provides an additional living space, while a guest cloakroom completes the ground-floor accommodation. The turning staircase rises to a galleried first-floor landing with five double bedrooms and a family bathroom, while the second floor provides two further generous double bedrooms, a shower room and a spacious landing area. The property also benefits from a substantial cellar, approached by stone steps and divided into three separate rooms, one of which houses the boiler and pool equipment.
