Description

In addition to this there is a well proportioned 21ft dining room, a well fitted kitchen/ breakfast room complete with Aga and original pantry, a study, boot room/utility room. There is also a cellar which could make a useful wine store. On the first floor there are five double bedrooms and three bathrooms. Both the principal bedroom and bedroom two are of particular merit and have wonderful views over the garden and beyond. The second floor has two further rooms which could be playrooms or further bedrooms. This top floor also gives good access to three spacious store rooms.
