Entering via a floor to ceiling oak framed glass gable with wide entrance door, the galleried entrance hall is flooded with light and features a central oak staircase leading to galleried landing. Double doors lead through to the spacious dining room with large window, whilst a further opening leads through a oak panelled hallway to the reconfigured kitchen family area. The kitchen is an exquisite space and offers a range of bespoke painted two tone cabinetry set under a quartz worksurface with a range if integrated Bosch appliances including microwave, double oven, dishwasher, induction hob, pop up extractor, fridge and freezer. A central island forms cupboard space to one side, whilst the other is a useful seating area around a solid oak fitted table. The open plan kitchen continues to a bar and family area which offers superb entertaining space, whilst there is a doorway leading to a utility room with wet room off. A doorway leads through to a further hallway which is currently used as a snug, and offers access to the formal drawing room. The drawing room is the centre piece of the former Victorian part of the house and offers pleasant views over the gardens via the bay window. The drawing room also benefits from period features including sandstone fireplace, deep skirting and ceiling coving, as well as new installations such as cast iron radiators. The living room is accessed off the drawing room and entrance hall, and offers a vast space with a full wall of bi-folding doors which lead out onto a terrace which overlooks the garden. The playroom is located off the living room and again offers a vast space which could be used for a variety of uses including a large home office.
