A more relaxed principal living room with wood burning stove, separate snug, dedicated study and useful boot room complete the main day-to-day accommodation.

The bedroom accommodation continues the same exceptional standard.

The principal suite is particularly impressive, incorporating a dressing room, luxurious en-suite bath/shower room plus sitting area overlooking the river.

A discreet rear balcony and electric blinds provide comfort and privacy, while Sonos sound throughout the house allows music and entertainment to flow seamlessly between the principal rooms and outdoor spaces.

The lower-ground/cellar space provides substantial additional storage and has been thoughtfully adapted by the current owners to include a dedicated dog kennel and wash/grooming room.

These unique elements and an overall feeling of combined indulgence meets practical design throughout, highlight a thoughtful approach to modern family living, in a home of the highest calibre.

Set within beautifully landscaped gardens extending to just under half an acre, with its elevated position creating an exceptional sense of space, privacy and connection with the surrounding landscape.
