The entrance opens into the light-filled reception hallway with intricate cornicing and a centre rose giving a handsome introduction to the elegance of the house. At hall level you will find the beautifully appointed drawing room and dining room, both boasting period marble fireplaces and draught-proofed sash windows, with magnificent cornicing and centre roses.

Positioned at the rear, the family room boasts a generous bay window taking in the views of the mature, sunny rear garden. It has a beautiful original carved wooden fireplace and makes the ground floor a self-contained residential area. Across the hallway, an additional reception room provides for some 'get-away' space indeed this room would make an ideal home office/snug. The garden level, which includes a bathroom, is a fantastic space with great flexibility and practical day-to-day family living at its core. On the first floor, including the return, there are 4 bedrooms, two of which are as large as the reception rooms below, an elegant family bathroom and a linen storage room.
