The property is arranged over two floors and extends to nearly 4,500sqft, providing large double height formal living and dining rooms, separate informal family room and walk through kitchen breakfast room in the heart of the house. There are two staircases leading to the first floor, one for either end of the house. Upstairs there are 7 bedrooms and five bathrooms, all but one bedroom have an en suite Bath/Shower room. There is one further bedroom with en suite shower room downstairs. There is plenty of potential to renovate and extend, subject to the relevant planning permissions.
