GROUND FLOOR

The front porch and doorway of the property are grand in appearance, centrally placed in keeping with the era, with a decorative arched top window light. This opens into a spacious entrance hallway with an original tiled floor, and the main cantilever staircase rising to the first floor. This central hallway is well proportioned and leads to a reception room on each side. The Georgian period of construction saw a move towards grand areas with large sash windows, high ceilings, fireplaces, and balanced interiors, which could not be more perfectly illustrated than here. To the left is the most opulent drawing room, flooded with natural light through the oversized Venetian sash windows, and oozes understated luxury - perfect for entertaining and quiet nights in front of the fire. This room showcases a pretty white marble fireplace, with marble hearth and a period cast iron grate. Either side flanked by two impressive symmetrical arch top alcoves.

To the right of the hallway is the sitting room displaying an identical Venetian styled window, and a lovely boxy room volume. The perfect recreational space for relaxing with the family, either watching a favourite movie or enjoying some time out in front of the welcoming log burning stove.

The far end of the hallway opens into the expansive open-plan kitchen with dining area and casual sitting area. Here there is a secondary porch leading to the side door of the property which the current owners utilise day to day. The kitchen has been crafted and appointed with high quality fixtures with an abundance of storage. There is an array of fully fitted contemporary style units, stylish and sophisticated, including an electric Aga with a fused timer switch, and for flexibility, a large ceramic hob. Rich with home comforts, this area provides the perfect modern reception space for relaxing and versatile day to day living - whether it be a casual breakfast, an evening supper, or retiring to the sitting area to relax and unwind. A lovely addition to the property and indicative of the era is a formal dining room, perfect for more formal gatherings and celebrations. Located at the end of the main hallway and adjacent to the kitchen, this is a spacious room featuring patio doors to the outside and pretty alcove shelving.

To the side of the kitchen is a hugely practical (and enviable for those who cook) walk-in pantry and a doorway that leads to a rear hall providing access to the secondary staircase leading to the first floor. Beyond which is a downstairs cloakroom with WC, home office / study area, and a practical utility room giving access to the outside and the West Wing if desired. .
