Description

Dating back to about 1948, Glebe House retains a host of character features, including leaded windows, oak flooring and beamed ceilings.

The ground floor accommodation offers a triple-aspect sitting room with an internal door through to the study/TV room. Adjacent lies the formal dining room leading through to the kitchen/breakfast room which is of a good size with plenty of room for a table and a range of country style kitchen units complemented by granite worktops. Just off the kitchen is a utility room and double doors open into a large family room, overlooking the garden and terrace.

On the first floor, the galleried landing leads to six bedrooms and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom enjoys a double aspect with a lovely balcony giving garden views, together with an en suite shower room. There are five further bedrooms, two with en suite facilities.
