with stone fireplaces, stained glass windows, oak doors, exposed oak beams and high ceilings. Modernised to a high standard throughout (including a new roof in 2023) the house is well presented in a mostly neutral style. The contemporary kitchen and the glazed loggia with its Crittal-style windows are particular highlights of the property, which beautifully complement the more traditional features. The accommodation throughout is bright and spacious, with generously proportioned rooms and ample space for entertaining.

The ground floor accommodation is very versatile, comprising an entrance hallway leading to a drawing room, dining room, loggia, cloakroom with w.c., kitchen, utility room and storage/boot room to the rear.
