A substantial period family home of approximately 5,447 sq ft, recently renovated and extended to combine original character with contemporary living. The ground floor offers multiple reception rooms, a large open-plan kitchen/dining/family room with panoramic sliding doors to the terrace, a circular wine cellar, utility and cloakrooms — excellent for entertaining and family life. The first and top floors provide flexible sleeping arrangements: a principal suite with dressing area and wood-burning stove, multiple ensuites, a games/bedroom and a sauna-equipped bathroom.
Practical upgrades include solar panels and underfloor heating, plus modern integrated kitchen appliances and high-quality finishes throughout. The wide carriage driveway, garage and substantial rear garden with a generous terrace deliver off-street parking and private outdoor space.

The house retains solid brick walls with no confirmed cavity insulation (assumed uninsulated) and double glazing install dates are unknown — further insulation or upgrade work may be required. Freehold tenure.
This property suits larger families or professionals seeking period character, generous entertaining space and scope to personalise secondary bedrooms and attic/game areas. Its combination of size, modern services and classic detailing gives immediate comfort with longer-term improvement potential.
