The room benefits from an abundance of natural light and enjoys attractive views across the grounds.

Complementing this space is a substantial dual-aspect living room featuring impressive proportions and a central fireplace, providing an elegant yet comfortable reception room for relaxation and entertaining alike.

A separate office offers an ideal work-from-home environment, whilst a utility room, cloakroom and generous circulation space further enhance the practicality of the ground floor.
