Approached by a pebble path, the front garden is framed with carefully maintained copper beech hedging along a cast iron railing, providing privacy and showcasing an abundance of mature planting. An inviting and bright entrance hall with impressive ceiling height and cornice work leads to two wonderfully proportioned interconnecting reception rooms, the drawing room and dining room, providing a superb living space. An inner hall gives access to a downstairs shower / wc and separate utility room.
