Inside and downstairs, briefly there are three double bedrooms and a family bathroom and a central mahogany staircase will take you to the first floor galleried landing where you ll find three reception rooms (all connected by double doors so super party space!), a well fitted kitchen and a fourth bedroom.
The house is approached from two directions, both of which give access to a huge drive as well as a large double garage. The gardens are well stocked and perfectly maintained and offer a mix of lawns, borders, paths, as well as a summerhouse all of which are south facing and will be looked after by the landlord s contractor.
