Lower Ground Floor

From the entrance hall, access is gained to the cellar of

the property. Currently used for storage, this deceptively

large space carries great potential to become another

reception/entertaining area for guests, or further living

accommodation if required by a larger family.

window to the front, ceiling rose with chandelier and a feature

extra sitting room.


Since moving to live here thirteen years ago, the owners have enhanced the house by extending the kitchen/dining space and other practical tasks. They can, justifiably, claim that their home has all its original elegance and character intact but also, is one full of modern day luxury.

Most family time is spent in the kitchen dining room, which is large, bright and totally functional. The owners often use this space for entertaining their guests, with the well-proportioned reception/dining room being utilised for more formal entertaining.
