Salient points include a bespoke kitchen by Chambers, luxurious bathroom suites, attractive fireplaces, an oak staircase and flooring, bay and sash windows, window shutters, exposed ceiling timbers, secluded, landscaped gardens of about 0.5 acres, a detached double garage and an impressive garden room with a fully equipped kitchen, living area and shower room.
The reception rooms provide excellent areas for entertaining and family living, comprising a large reception hall with a fireplace, a drawing room with an open fireplace inset with a wood burning stove and French doors to the rear terrace and a double aspect sitting room, also with a fireplace. A playroom has a bay window and a fireplace.
The kitchen is fitted with bespoke wall and base units by Chambers, a butler sink, a four oven gas Aga and integral appliances, and the adjoining dining area has a fireplace, spiral staircase and doors to the terrace.
A well-appointed utility room with an Aga and access to outside, and a cloakroom complete this floor. A cellar provides further storage and houses the boiler room.
To the first floor is the elegant principal suite, served by a dressing room with fitted storage and en suite bathroom with a freestanding slipper bath.
There are three further well-proportioned bedrooms, one currently utilised as a study and one served by stylish en suite facilities, and a separate shower room. A study encompasses the first floor landing.
Across the second floor are four further bedrooms and a modern bathroom.
The landscaped gardens amount to about 0.5 acres and create a wonderful backdrop, with a generous terrace that is ideal for al fresco entertaining and features a charming water well. The level, manicured garden has shaped beds and deep, well-stocked borders planted with a wide variety of colourful perennials, herbaceous shrubs, deciduous and specimen trees, creating a high degree of privacy and year round interest.
The garden room benefits from central heating and a vaulted ceiling, with a living area, well-appointed kitchen and shower room.
