DESCRIPTION An interior inspection of this unique house really has to be made in order to appreciate all the features and the large reception s which are ideal for entertaining. There is a wonderful Gothic influence with trompe l oeil ceilings, decorative wallpapers and lovely fireplaces. The house was restored to a high standard in the 1960s and 1970s and more recent improvements include a new kitchen in 2004 and the rebuilding of the conservatory in 2007 to become an all year round living extension to the kitchen. The roof was retiled and insulated in 2011 and there is double glazing throughout. Other notable features are the library providing space for a substantial book collection and the superb first floor double drawing with full height doors opening onto a sheltered terrace with a southerly aspect and steps down to the rear garden. The first floor accommodation is completed by a master bed suite and a guest bed. The second floor comprises 2 further beds and baths with scope for providing a private area and ideal for use by children or an office. The lower ground floor of some 1200 sq. ft. includes store s, workshop, utility, cellar and cold store. With a little work this could be transformed into an excellent leisure space to provide a gym, home cinema, indoor pool, play etc. Here there is also a double length underground garage.
