The front door opens into a lobby and then a large reception hall with fireplace and cloaks cupboard. To the right is a lovely bright sitting room with a Clearview wood-burning stove and views over the front garden, to the left is an impressive, part panelled dining room also with views over the garden. To the rear of the house is a well proportioned drawing room with a wood-burning stove and door out to the rear garden. An inner hall gives access to a large cloakroom, the extensive cellars and the kitchen/breakfast room complete with a two-oven AGA, a range of built in wall and base units and a Belfast sink unit. Off the kitchen is a walk-in pantry and a larder, a door leads to a rear hallway with the back door and a large utility/boiler room with potting room off. A generous flight of stairs lead to the first floor landing with an airing cupboard. The master bedroom suite comprises a large double bedroom with window overlooking the front garden to the views beyond and a large well fitted bathroom. There are three further good double bedrooms and a large family bathroom; in addition there is a large office which could easily be another bedroom if required and which has a door out to the veranda. The stairs then rise to the second floor landing off which are two large walk-in storage rooms. There is a lovely guest bedroom with en suite bathrooms and a further large flexible room which is currently in use as a play/games room but once again could be a large double bedroom if required. To the outside is a pretty, well stocked front garden mainly laid to lawn with border and terraced surrounds, whilst to the rear is another large lawn flanked by borders. The property has ample off road parking.
