The principal drawing room with its deep south facing bay and stunning Carrara marble fireplace exudes period style which is beautifully counterbalanced by the more intimate sitting room centred on the slate fireplace and French doors overlooking the enclosed rear gardens. The undoubted informal heart is the 16’3 breakfast kitchen with its extensive range of hand painted units – ideal for relaxed entertaining.

There is superb flexibility to the remaining two stories: a main landing, with concealed staircase to the second floor, serves two double bedrooms together with a nursery/dressing room (which has the potential to be converted back to a 6th bedroom if required), whilst the rear landing opens to a family bathroom and to two further bedrooms – one of which is served by the second staircase rising from the kitchen. The second floor features a 20’ sitting room/studio with two distinctive porthole windows which define Spectacle Row.
