Accommodation
A private parking area to the rear of the property opens to a pleasant enclosed garden; with well kept lawn and mature planted border. Paving extends to the main entrance opening to the vestibule and on to a generous and welcoming reception hall. Successfully setting the scene for the rest of the property, the grand hallway is fitted in cream tones with highlighted features in keeping with the period; including generous ceiling height, original cornicing and stripped oak facings and doors, continuous throughout the property. Further doors open to the public rooms, kitchen, ground level bedroom and shower room. The kitchen is particularly attractive with a high end country chic finish; fitted with an excellent range of cream fronted base and wall units, a fantastic island unit with black granite worktop, complemented by walnut block worktops on the base units. The kitchen is filled with light and enjoys a lovely dual aspect, finished with integral appliances, range style cooker with tiled recess, tiled flooring and spotlighting, and with a good sized dining area to the far end. A timber staircase allows access to the office on the basement level, a most convenient and bright room perfect for work or hobby space which would lend itself equally well as a utility room.
