The principal receptions rooms on the ground floor are all well proportioned and are accessed from a charming central hallway. These rooms all face south west and enjoy a fine view of the gardens. The drawing room and dining room are at opposing sides of the hallway and both allow access to the garden room, which is certainly a room for all seasons with a lovely view and a real sense of the garden being part of the house. There is also a charming panelled study which is accessed from the hallway. The kitchen/family room really is the heart of the house and perfect for family life. The bespoke kitchen is well appointed and offers a great space for all the family. French doors give access to the garden on the south elevation.
