High ceilings, generous room proportions, elegant reception rooms and well-proportioned bedrooms are further complemented by the private and mature rear garden. The home has been decorated with flair and taste resulting in an exceptional interior rich in period detail.

There is also a fourth bedroom with an en suite at this level.
