Accommodation Ground Floor
A grand entrance with columns and fan light above the front door leads into the stunning reception hall with flagstone floors, vaulted ceilings and arches. Doors lead off the hall to the principal reception rooms. The main reception room on the left features a polished boarded floor, marble fireplace and views across the gardens via the bay window. Adjacent is the dining room, again with boarded floor and bay window garden views. A peaceful study looks across the rear gardens while another cosy lounge overlooks the front garden.   

An inner hall then leads you to the main kitchen breakfast room with a stunning full height dresser, fitted cupboards and electric Aga cooking range. Off the kitchen is a useful pantry. Across the hall is an informal dining room with fireplace, separate utility room, cloakroom, store rooms, reception room (currently used as a billiard room) and access to the cellar with wine bins. At the end of the hall is a second side entrance.

First Floor
Stairs rise up from the reception hall via a stunning cantilever Bath stone staircase to the first floor accommodation. A striking first floor landing with a circular skylight provides a light area with doors leading off to the principal bedrooms. The main two bedrooms overlook the gardens to the west through their bay windows and both enjoy en suite bathrooms. Four further large bedrooms are located on the floor overlooking the gardens of the house. These share the use of a family bathroom. At the east side of the floor is a self-contained apartment with a reception room, bedroom, bathroom and a kitchen. This area is connected to the main house and so can be used as part of the house if required but also has its own access via the side entrance if used separately. There is also a useful attic for storage.

The Cottages
Over the years the owners have converted the grade II listed traditional stone outbuilding range in the side cobbled courtyard into two comfortable cottages that have been used as holiday cottages (The Creamery (two bedrooms) and The Stables (three bedrooms).
