The adjoining dining and living areas create a fantastic social environment where family and friends can gather comfortably. Quality flooring flows throughout, while the spectacular roof lantern positioned centrally above floods the room with natural light from morning until evening. As an added touch of luxury, the roof lantern also benefits from discreet integrated LED lighting, creating a beautiful ambient glow during darker days and cosy evenings. The effect is simply stunning and adds another layer of sophistication to an already exceptional room.

Large patio doors open directly onto the rear garden, seamlessly linking inside and outside living. During the warmer months, the doors can be thrown open to create the perfect setting for entertaining, alfresco dining or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings. As evening falls, imagine sitting back with a glass of wine beneath the illuminated roof lantern, watching the stars appear overhead. It is a feature that truly sets this home apart.

Externally, the property continues to impress, and the rear garden is every bit as exceptional as the interior. Thoughtfully landscaped and beautifully finished, this outstanding outdoor space has been designed to complement the quality of the refurbishment and provide a wonderful extension to the living accommodation.

A substantial Indian sandstone patio stretches across the rear of the property, creating an exceptional entertaining space perfect for summer barbecues, outdoor dining and relaxing with family and friends.
