This has been complemented with a more contemporary light and airy addition to the easterly elevation which has added a considerable level of additional accommodation including a simply stunning open plan living/dining kitchen benefitting from windows to three elevations as well as glazed doors to the southerly side with wonderful views into the garden.
The kitchen has a part vaulted ceiling which looks up to a first floor reception space above currently utilised as a home office but offering scope to provide an additional bedroom.
There are two further versatile receptions, ground floor cloakroom and utility as well as large boot room/pantry.

The property is beautifully presented throughout and has been finished with a great deal of thought and attention to detail which combined creates a truly stunning individual home and viewing is the only way to truly appreciate both its location and accommodation.
