Description Of Property

The reception hall is approached via a beautiful oak front door, with recess cloakroom and WC. It features exposed beam work, striking oak staircase and a traditional fireplace. Next to the fireplace is a charming window seat with feature glass windows overlooking the rear garden. Beyond the reception hall is a loggia, a lovely room to admire the garden in the warmer months accessed via an arched mottled glazed door.
The drawing room boasts original oak flooring, traditional ceiling mouldings and an impressive fireplace, making this a beautiful space to gather with family. A projecting bay window with leaded lights provide superb views over the rear garden. A characterful arched span denotes a separate reading area with views over the rear garden.
