Description
An elegant, semi detached, Georgian family home with many period features such as Bath stone fireplaces, (flagstone floors,) large, sash windows, and high ceilings. There is a wistful romanticism to the property with echoes of an ecclesiastical connection to a 13th century Priory, and it sits with attractive grounds in a rural and tranquil setting.

Accommodation
A fine porch shelters a large, part-glazed, front door, which opens to the wide, central hallway in this symmetrical, classical building. To the left is a stunning, dual aspect sitting room which has an inglenook fireplace as a focal point. Within the nook is an elegant and quite delicate stone fire surround and an open fire. Enormous, solid, Blue Lias, vertical stone supports and exposed, honed stone within the inglenook are additional notable features in this fabulous room. There is a traditional "pickle cupboard ". To the right of the hall is the dining room, again a very elegant room with an east facing window with shutters. From here, a door opens to the downstairs cloakroom, (plus shower). It is worth noting that a door into the cloakroom, could be reinstated from the hallway.

*
The kitchen is located on the left of the hallway at the rear and it has a south facing sash window with attractive and unusual stone panelling below, and classic French windows which open to the west garden. There are fitted units with a gas hob (calor), integrated, eye-level double ovens, integrated dishwasher, a traditional oil-fired Rayburn and extractor. There is plenty of space for a table and chairs, and this is a delightful room with views over the garden. Beyond the kitchen is an under stairs cupboard and a utility area which houses the boiler. Beyond this is the 'old kitchen' which still has units and is used as a utility space. There is an attractive sash window overlooking the rear garden, and a door opens to the garden room. This has a flagstone floor and exposed stone walls with large windows and doors out to the rear garden.
