Ground Floor
Upon entering this beautiful early Victorian building, you set foot into the
impressive and spacious entrance hall with attractive staircase. This is one
of the many charming features of this substantial property. Within this area
is the old reception office with sliding glass windows where the original wood
panelling and window shutters have been carefully and beautifully restored to
their natural state. To the left you enter the modern well - equipped kitchen
which has been thoughtfully designed to allow for seamless service, with
integrated double ovens, warming drawers, coffee machine, separate sink areas
and commercial appliances. The second door at the far end of the kitchen leads
to the utility room with various commercial appliances and staircase leading
up to the first and second floor. Back into the hall straight ahead you have a
guest WC which has the pretty arch windows and door with square glass panes
matching the main entrance door and to the right you enter the well sized
dining room with windows to the front and side and feature fireplace.
From the back of the entrance hall you enter what is currently being used as
owners’ accommodation which can be locked securely making it inaccessible by
guests. The first room you enter is the office which leads through to the
bathroom, the stylish hall with vestibule offering plenty of storage and
entrance door from South Street on one side and back door leading to the
private outdoor space on the other. The staircase is made from solid oak with
glass panels and the doors in this area are also oak. The generous bright
lounge also has a door leading to the private outdoor space. The last room on
this floor is a spacious bedroom with huge wardrobes with sliding doors and
hard wood floor.
First Floor
Staying in the owner’s accommodation using what is their private staircase at
present, you have a further two bedrooms and stylish shower room on the first
floor that is currently being used as part of the owners accommodation and is
separated from the letting room by a heavy fire door that is securely locked
from this area so guests cannot access it. However, this area has been
designed in a way that it can be reconfigured to allow for these rooms to be
used as guest accommodation if new owners wish to increase the number of guest
rooms available.
On this floor there are six letting bedrooms, five of which are ensuite and
one has a large separate private bathroom. All rooms are well presented and
