The current owners have carefully preserved its period charm, with sympathetic extensions that respect the original architecture. A grand reception hallway with high ceilings and original cornicing provides access to an elegant dual-aspect dining room and a large sitting room with a feature gas fireplace. Double doors lead to a cozy family room, while the purpose-built garden room offers vaulted ceilings, log burner and wraparound windows with serene garden views.

The kitchen/breakfast room features quartz countertops, a Belfast-style sink, and top-of-the-line appliances. Porcelain-tiled floors continue into the utility room, which includes granite worktops and space for white goods. A cloakroom and walk-in storage complete the ground floor.
