The functional kitchen / breakfast room is situated to the rear of the property and overlooks the garden. A shower room completes the ground floor accommodation. Upstairs does not disappoint, steeped in period features and benefitting from a double bedroom, family bathroom and seperate w/c on the return level. The first floor has three double bedrooms, a large and bright dressing room / study (which was previously a fifth bedroom but has been changed inline with the PP for the site next door) and a shower room.
A description of this property would not be complete without mentioning the stunning gardens. To the front a pathway bordered by mature trees and shrubbery leads to the hall door. To the rear you will find a superbly private and sunny south facing garden, laid in lawn, with a patio area, mature shrubbery, flower beds and trees. There is also the provision of ample outside storage areas.
