Adjoining the 3 Ref: LCAA7901 kitchen is a utility room and this gives access down a spiral staircase to the lower ground floor integral flat which has its own separate access and includes a bed/sitting room, shower room and kitchenette.

There are two further bedrooms one to the front and one to the rear and a family bathroom. There is off-road car parking and an attached garage together with well stocked gardens to the south and south west of the house together with terracing. Beyond the formal gardens are the parkland grounds which provide a lovely setting with superb mature trees, areas of woodland and pond with island.
