Through a course of sympathetic upgrading and refurbishment, the present owners have maintained the original integrity and character of the house, creating a clean and contemporary kitchen breakfast room balanced by elegant reception rooms. Through the majority of the accommodation, light and the beautiful views of the gardens and courtyard are introduced through large shuttered sash windows. The front door leads to a small lobby before a large airy hall with high ceilings, central column with Corinthian detail and arches over, wood burning stove to one side and off this is the magnificent formal drawing room with canted bay, and the sitting room, both with extensive views over the gardens. A rear hallway leads to the study, which has an attractive fireplace with unusual tiled surround and windows giving views onto the gardens.
