The first floor opens into a magnificent central hallway, setting the tone for the accommodation beyond with its sense of scale, character and practicality. Traditional floor-to-ceiling storage cupboards run the full width of the hall, including a wonderfully quirky original mirrored drinks cabinet, while a spindle and balustrade staircase leads to the upper floor. The sitting and dining room is a truly stunning principal reception space and one of the home’s most impressive features.
