DESCRIPTION

Packed with character, this substantial Edwardian manor house has been lovingly restored to provide a comfortable home with modern conveniences whilst still maintaining its original charm & period features.

The proportions of the accommodation never fail to impress and are far more generous than modern houses. Ideal for busy family life, the house also lends itself well for entertaining & social gatherings.

Main entrance porch                     4’6” x 2’3”               (1.37m x 0.69m)

The grand main entrance to the house features the original twin oak front doors opening into a porch area with the original wide inner door leading into the welcoming reception hall. The porch features the original black & white chequer pattern floortiles.

Reception Hall / Dining Room         14’5’’ x 14’5’’           (4.39m x 4.39m)

This space is reminiscent of a ‘living hall’ found in country manor houses with its real open fire, cosy corner, high ceiling, original parquet flooring and oak panelled enclosed turned stairwell leading up to split level landing and galleried first floor.

Currently used as a dining room with large oak 8-seater table, this room could easily be returned to use as a snug with a couple of high-back chairs next to the fire.

Lounge                                     19’3’’ x13’10’’           (5.87m x 4.22m)

The room is also fitted with LED mood uplighting, a 3D HD projector and 120” electrically operated cinema screen.

Games Room                             16’0’’ x 15’4’’           (4.88m x 4.67m)

Main Kitchen                               21’2’’ x 8’10’’           (6.45m x 2.69m)

The spacious open plan triple aspect kitchen & breakfast room really is the heart of the house, and also serves as the ‘everyday’ entrance to the house through what is still labelled as the ‘Tradesman’s entrance’ on the original servant bells.

The kitchen features a large central island with overhead lighting & concealed fridge, Aga, electric oven & hob, cooker hood extractor fan, Belfast sink, USB phone charging points and LED mood lighting throughout.

The windows are all double glazed and in addition to the tradesman’s entrance, there is also a door to access the rear garden & terrace. Both these doors have been upgraded to modern composite doors to increase security and thermal efficiency over the original timber doors.
