Entering the house via the front door you are immediately struck by the quality of the interior space. There is an inner lobby, ideal for hats and coats, and this leads through to the main hall with elegant staircase leading to the upper levels. To your right and to the front of the house is a beautifully proportioned study. Large sash windows face the front of the house flanked by period shutters. A period fireplace with built-in cupboards and bookshelves to either side completes the picture. On from here and with views to the rear of the house is bedroom 5, but this could also double as a study. On the half landing to the kitchen is a very useful cloakroom with shower.

Stairs lead down to the wonderful kitchen space that our clients have created. A fine hand-built kitchen has Silestone worktops and a central island. To one side of the room is a period built-in Welsh dresser with cupboards either side, one for housekeeping items and the other is a pantry. Within the main run of units is a built-in fridge freezer, dishwasher and a Capel wine cooler. The butler’s sink has a very attractive brass tap which operates the Perrin and Rowe hot/cold water system. There are two Neff ovens (one combination/microwave) and mounted in the island is a four-ring induction hob with integral extraction. An archway takes you through to the relaxing dining room.

To the front of the house a door leads to a lobby giving access to the front courtyard and steps up to street level. Through from here you find the main vaults which are untanked.
