hall which features many of the original features which can be seen throughout this
elegantly presented Victorian villa and includes high corniced ceilings and corbels, deep skirting boards, picture rails and French polished hardwood doors. A grand
spindle staircase rises and turns to the first-floor landing and has a long, decoratively
stained and leaded window at the turn, reflected in the leaded light windows
throughout. The hall is lit by wall lights and the hardwood flooring runs from the
inner hall to the kitchen and dining room.
The dual aspect principal lounge has a side window and a bay window to the front
The comfortably spacious room is also lit by a pendant light and has a splendid carved
wood open fire surround with cast iron inset and tiled hearth forming the focal point
of the room.

furniture.
The triple aspect dining kitchen has windows to the front and side and French
windows to the rear. Lit by recessed downlights, the kitchen is fitted with an excellent
bespoke range of Martin Moore traditional-style hand-painted wall and base cabinets
to include an island unit. Granite worktops surround and have an inset Kohler

automatic dishwasher close by. A niche houses the pewter, electric four-oven Aga
with a handmade tile splashback and canopy lighting over. A dresser-style unit houses
an integrated double fridge and freezer with larder-style cabinets to either side and, at
the end of the kitchen, there is space for a table and chairs. Alongside, a door opens to
the laundry room with high-level window, recessed downlights, an inset stainless steel

basin and low flush WC and there is also an under-stairs storage cupboard.

leading to the rooms off, one being the family bathroom.

From the road, you are greeted by a tree lined Tarmacadam driveway meandering to a
fork; to the right, leading to the circular island turning space to the front of the
property and overlooking the extensive lawn which is dotted with trees and bordered
by mature shrubs and further trees. Alternatively, the left-hand path from the fork
leads, firstly, to the boiler room, double garage, log store, side door of the annex and
the five barred gate to the first of the two grazing paddocks which lead down to the
River Douglas. The boiler room houses a Viessmann gas central heating boiler, pressurised water tank and communication systems. The double garage has twin
timber double doors, power and light and an outside tap. Alongside is a former stable
now used as a log store.
The annex, formerly an old school house, is a lengthy building split into three interior
sections, having oak flooring continuing throughout the whole and comprising a large, central family room with two windows to the rear and French windows to the front.
King trusses span the vaulted ceiling with recessed downlights, one having an
attached projector to create a cinema room. To one end is a further games room with
space for a snooker table and having a central light over plus wall lights. At the
opposite end is a kitchenette with fitted base units, a stainless-steel sink unit and
mixer tap and recessed downlights. There is also a cloakroom with a WC, pedestal
wash hand basin and radiator with combination heated towel rail. Stairs rise to the
first-floor attic storage room.
