On Rightmove, the house is described as: “Testimony to the ability of historic and contemporary architecture to coexist harmoniously.

“The front door opens to the entrance hall with its original stone flagged floor. The morning and dining rooms sit immediately either side of the hall.

“Both of these rooms feature tall ceilings, working fireplaces with stone surrounds and traditional cast iron radiators.

“The hall leads on to the magnificent kitchen. Flooded with natural light from its glass roof, this room now connects to all principal rooms ensuring a pleasing flow to the ground floor.

“The atmospheric library is a wonderfully cosy room with its beams, wood panelling and open fireplace.

“Dual aspect with south and westerly views, it has a connecting door to the dining room and views into the garden.”
