On entering the reception hall what is immediately apparent are the generous proportions, original door architraves with original decorative corners. Of particular note is the stunning drawing room with dual aspect sash windows providing fabulous south facing rural views over Widcombe and Lyncombe Vale. A fine fireplace sits at the heart of the room with a gas living flame fire. Wedding doors open into a superb kitchen/dining room which also has a fine fireplace with a cast iron insert.
