This fine family home offers beautifully proportioned accommodation which extends to just over 8,000 sq ft.
Internally, the accommodation flows around the impressive entrance hall with access to the four formal reception rooms, all of which enjoying views over or having direct access into the gardens. The hub of the house is the kitchen/breakfast room with adjoining utility room and double doors into the conservatory/garden room allowing for indoor-outdoor entertainment. On the first floor there are six bedrooms, the principal bedroom has a dressing area and an en suite bathroom with separate shower. There are five further bedrooms, one with en suite facilities and a family bathroom.
The south/east wing of the property was built to house an indoor swimming pool and includes a shower room, changing room, jacuzzi, cloakroom and plant room. A space for all year round enjoyment with doors that open the area onto the rear terrace, making it perfect for entertaining.
