Enter into a striking hallway with parquet flooring which leads to the first of the property’s three unique staircases. Either side of the hallway lie two inviting reception rooms, each featuring a bay window and an attractive feature fireplace.
Storage is not an issue in this family home, with large storage cupboards under all the stairs. Off the hallway leading to the back of the property is the downstairs cloakroom and shower room with a modern white suite. Continuing along the hallway there is a large snug, perfect as a library, featuring a double fronted wood-burning stove nestled within a large open fireplace that serves both the snug and the dining area, which then opens out onto the large family room with dining and sitting areas opening onto a newly fitted kitchen with integrated appliances and central island. A spiral staircase in the family room leads to a surprising mezzanine floor, a perfect setting for a playroom, display area or a study. Double patio doors open out into the courtyard, garden and stone barn.
