As you enter the home, you're welcomed by an inner porch with a stained glass door that leads into a large hallway, giving access to all the ground floor rooms.

The room benefits from vaulted ceilings with oak beams and bi-fold doors that open onto the garden, making it an ideal social space for family gatherings.

On the ground floor, you'll find two further reception rooms. The living room, located at the front of the property, boasts attractive wooden floors, high ceilings, and a wood-burning stove that serves as a focal point.
