Fantastic high ceilings, stunning original cornicings and corbels remain, and staircase with dark stained balustrade rise to the first floor with under stairs storage.
The through reception room enjoys a wonderful flow of natural light with a dual aspect and tasteful neutral colour palette. Wider than expected with high ceilings continued, there's a cosy open fire and further log store to the dining room chimney. A large bay with tall sash windows over looks the front garden and double doors give direct access to the large side return and rear garden.
Lovely and bright with leafy green views and underfloor heating, the kitchen has been extended and has a dual aspect with recently fitted Crittall windows and French doors onto the garden. Bespoke and beautifully crafted, the new Alistair Fleming designed kitchen is sleek and well thought out with a range of Oak ply base units and high quality Cesar stone worktops with matching splash back, and complimenting glass display cabinets. There's an undermounted sink with moulded drainer and high end appliances to include a Fisher & Paykel 6 burner range cooker and American style fridge freezer. There's space and provisions to accommodate a washing machine, and a Miele integrated dishwasher. Furthermore, there's ample space for a dining table and chairs with a stunning view over the enclosed rear garden.
Stairs with original dark stained balustrade rise to the first floor split level landing with two large storage cupboards and high ceilings continued.
The family bathroom is laid to ceramic tiles with a modern suite and a sash window with plantation shutters. The panelled bath tub is deep and wide with wall mounted controls and a monsoon shower over. There's a low level eco flush WC and large washbasin with vanity storage underneath.
