Its inviting interior includes an open-plan sun room, with a cosy sitting or dining room leading to the kitchen with breakfast room, and a practical utility area.

In the kitchen with Karndean flooring are solid wood units with granite worktops. There is space for a range cooker and for an American-style fridge freezer.

The sun room has a solid wood parquet floor, with stone windowsills, and French doors to the landscaped garden. Archways link sitting and living rooms, the latter with ceiling beams and a stone fireplace with gas fire.

In the beamed sitting room is an original cast iron aga with timber surround and a built-in creole. A staircase with handrail leads upwards.

Off an inner hallway is some office space with a feature Victorian fireplace, and a w.c., while the lower level reveals another reception room with Yorkshire stone floor, that is currently used as a gym but could, potentially, be a fifth bedroom.

A first floor landing leads to the house bathroom and four bedrooms, two with en suites, and one with a balcony looking out over countryside. Four loft areas are all accessible from the landing.
