There is a cupboard for coats and shoes, and it flows into a hallway where there is a convenient stainless-steel sink, handy for rinsing muddy paws, and a staircase rising to the first floor with a cupboard beneath.

A superb sunroom is flooded with light from its dual-aspect windows, three skylights and French doors to the garden, a fabulous social space, with a contemporary multifuel stove making a nice feature focal point for the room, wonderful with a roaring fire on a dark winter night. The sunroom flows into a beautiful kitchen/dining room which has plenty of floor space for a dining table and seating for eight or more places, perfect for a dinner party or a family celebration. The modern kitchen has elegant solid-granite worktops, including a breakfast bar with a wine fridge underneath, perfect for casual dining, an Aga range cooker with feature lighting, a butler sink with a mixer tap, an integrated wine fridge, dishwasher and microwave, space for another range cooker, and loads of cupboard space within an extensive range of cream fitted units, Complete with under-cabinet feature lighting. A rear hallway leads to a larder with tons of storage for groceries, a convenient ground floor cloakroom with a WC and basin, and utility and laundry rooms where there is plenty of space for white goods and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer. From the kitchen/dining room, a door leads into another hallway with a second staircase to the first floor, and a couple of steps lead down to a hallway with a beautiful hardwood parquet floor beside a porch to what would have been the original front door, and the parquet flooring continues into a fabulous, formal living room, filled with light from a wide window and sliding patio doors with fabulous views over the beautiful gardens. Another multifuel stove makes a nice focal point, perfect for a cosy winter night.

Upstairs, the master bedroom is a fabulous double filled with light from dual-aspect windows with wonderful views over the gardens. It has a walk-in wardrobe providing an abundance of clothes storage, and modern en-suite shower room with a drench shower, a WC, a pedestal basin, an illuminated mirror and chrome heated towel rail. There are four further light and airy bedrooms, three doubles, two of which have wash-hand basins, and a single which is currently used as a study, ideal for those working from home. These are served by a stunning modern family bathroom with a bath and shower attachment, a separate drench shower, a vanity unit with a basin and storage for toiletries, a hidden-cistern WC and a chrome heated towel rail, and a second shower room containing a shower, a WC and corner basin. The two end bedrooms can be closed off as an annex, with its own staircase and entrance, ideal for a family member requiring some independence.

Outside, the property sits on a level plot of approximately 0.75 of an acre, with the beautifully maintained, private gardens having manicured lawns bordered by well-stocked beds of mature plants, shrubs and flowers and several mature trees. Beside the sunroom is an extensive terrace of paving perfect for entertaining, be it a barbecue, alfresco dining or soaking up the sunshine, and Southwest-facing, it enjoys long hours of summer sunshine. A second paved terrace beside the living room provides an alternative, and more intimate venue for alfresco dining, beside a stunning Wisteria.
