Heading inside you are greeted by impressive high ceilings and much of the original character of this home has been well preserved. The grand entrance hallway gives access to three wonderful reception rooms each with impressive fireplaces and features befitting a home of this nature.
Further into the property leading through the inner hall is a fitted kitchen / breakfast room with ceramic tiled flooring and integrated appliances along with a two oven Aga. Adjacent to this room is the utility / laundry room and garden room with French doors that open out to the rear terrace and extensive private gardens.
