The front garden is laid to terrace with ornamental hedgerows and specimen shrubs and trees with a brick wall protecting the front gardens from the road.
A welcoming entrance porch typical of the era leads to an attractive panelled front door which in turn leads through to the reception hall.
The reception hall is an excellent size, currently used as a dining hall with flagstone floor, staircase to the first floor and doors to the kitchen/dining room and drawing room. The drawing room features a large fireplace with built-in log burner and stone surround and the room is perfect for entertaining and the triple aspect making it exceptionally bright.

The kitchen/dining room has a flagstone floor and a large bay window with double doors that open onto the rear terrace.

Garden
The gardens to the rear of the house are a significant feature, having been beautifully landscaped stocked and tended an idyllic setting for a house of this calibre. Directly adjacent to the rear of the house is a large full width travertine terrace which leads onto the lawn gardens. The gardens are surrounded on three sides with deep well-stocked flower and shrub beds and specimen trees and a path that runs throughout these around the perimeter of the property. A summerhouse sits to the rear of the garden, a perfect spot to look back towards the house and the beautiful Wisteria cladded walls.
To the side of the house is a separate vegetable garden which has been expertly tended and where a greenhouse is sited.
