The sitting room to the rear overlooks the garden and is of generous proportions, with French doors to the outdoor terrace and a Cotswold stone fireplace with an open fire creating a relaxed living space. Doors from this room open into the formal dining room, enjoying a dual aspect and a brick fireplace, again with a working fire. A charming snug lies adjacent, ideal as a TV room but also could be used as an office. The kitchen/breakfast room is equipped with a range of storage units and appliances and there is ample room for a breakfast table overlooking the garden. Double doors open on to the veranda providing an ideal spot for outside dining. Just off the kitchen is a useful utility/store room.

There are two sets of built-in wardrobes and an en suite with bath and shower. A guest bedroom also benefits from an en suite shower room.

Harewood is set well back from the road with electric gates opening to a long driveway leading to a parking area and double garage. The property enjoys a generous plot, with a large lawn area to the front and is well screened with laurel hedging and an array of mature shrubs. To the rear the garden is an absolute delight, mainly laid to lawn with a path to the side and flower borders with mature trees providing privacy. Of particular note are the flowering cherry, magnolia and apple trees. A terrace adjoins the rear of the house with the addition of a covered veranda for a shady refuge. In all just over an acre.
