Property description

A substantial family residence of character built we
understand as one of a pair in 1881 with sensitive later additions. The accommodation totals in excess of 4,000sq ft with the wonderfully proportioned principal rooms benefitting from the generous ceiling heights one would hope to find in a property of this era. A great deal of the original features are intact including (but not limited to), extensive fine cornicing, open fireplaces and an elegant staircase with hand turned rail. Approached via the wide entrance hall the accommodation in the original part of the house comprises large dining room with walk in bay window, delightful drawing room with French doors onto the rear terrace, study with views over the garden and library looking to the front. The newer wing features a light and airy open plan kitchen/breakfast room leading onto the conservatory combining to make a fantastic space for day to day family life and entertaining. There is also an extremely useful pantry, utility room, w.c. And boot room with access to both the front and rear; ideal for muddy dogs and children. There is also access down to the cellar which provides easily accessible wine storage not far from the kitchen. The majority of the bedrooms are arranged on the first floor with the main bedroom being a particular highlight with glorious views over the garden. The guest bedroom is at the other end of the landing and enjoys a good degree of separation from the other rooms. There is a dressing room with extensive built in storage that could be reverted to an additional bedroom if required whilst the other three bedrooms being of a good size with the 6th occupying the second floor from which far reaching views to the front can be enjoyed.
