This room has separate double-door access for entertaining and connects to the main house through an orangery-style walkway with inset wall lights. Period fireplaces in all rooms except the library add warmth and character. At the heart of the home is a traditional-style Loxley dining kitchen, complete with a two-oven Aga and a matching Aga console featuring a four-burner gas hob and two electric ovens. A spacious walk-in pantry enhances its practicality. The utility/boot room includes a WC, a personnel door to the double garage, and a stable door leading to the rear cobblestone courtyard, offering added convenience. The principal bedroom suite serves as a luxurious retreat, complete with a dressing room featuring heated closets and a custom-built en-suite bathroom with a red cedar infrared sauna. Four additional double bedrooms, three with en-suite bathrooms, provide ample space for family and guests.
