On the ground floor there is a sitting room with a log burning stove and French doors to the garden, a family room with bi-folding doors to the garden, a kitchen/ breakfast room open to a snug, an adjacent utility room, and a conservatory with French doors to the garden. On the first floor are six bedrooms, four en suite shower rooms, a principal en suite bathroom with a freestanding bath, and a main four piece bathroom with a bath, a shower cubicle, a WC, and a wash basin. There is a new heating system throughout, which also includes underfloor heating in the entrance hall and kitchen/breakfast room. Outside at the front is parking for up to four cars, access to the double garage, and side entrances on both sides of the house.
