There is a separate gate and pedestrian access to the left hand side of the driveway.

THE GRAND TOUR Passing through the beautiful original door, the hallway has stripped wood flooring running the length of the room and into the study/home office. Stairs lead from this room and there are doors either side of the hallway, one taking you into the kitchen with snug seating area and the other into the main sitting room.

Doors then take you outside onto the newly laid sandstone patio or an internal door to the ground floor shower room. Up the first set of stairs, there is built in storage at both ends of the landing, doors then take you into two double bedrooms of which one is ensuite and the family bathroom which has a four piece suite. The top floor has two further bedrooms both of which have fantastic views given the elevation and one of the bedrooms can see as far as Whitlingham Lake in the distance.
