The sitting room runs front to back through the house and has a handsome fireplace, woodburning stove and glazed doors opening onto the large terrace and garden. The flexible nature of the accommodation allows for either a snug/separate dining room or family room located to the front aspect and a very well-appointed kitchen/diner leading to a near fully glazed garden room. There is also a utility room and cloakroom.

Upstairs the galleried landing allows access to all bedrooms and family bathroom and there is a sumptuous ensuite shower room to the main bedroom.
