A Sociable Lower Ground Floor

A change in level introduces a different atmosphere. Original Sandstone steps lead down to the lower ground floor, where the house reveals a more relaxed and sociable side. The kitchen sits at the heart of this level, beautifully appointed and designed with both form and function in mind. Integrated appliances are seamlessly arranged, while a central island with a marble countertop provides a place to gather, dine and linger.

Flexible Living Spaces

Beyond the kitchen, the layout continues to unfold with ease. A shower room is discreetly positioned, while an additional reception room offers flexibility and charm.

This connection to the outside enhances the sense of versatility, whether used for guests, work or quiet retreat.

Elegant Bedrooms and Views

The upper floors continue the narrative of space and light. The first floor hosts two beautifully proportioned bedrooms, each with its own character. The principal bedroom is particularly striking, centred around a large sash window that opens onto a private balcony terrace. From here, the outlook is serene, with views towards the river and a gentle backdrop that changes with the light. It is a space that invites slow mornings and quiet evenings. An en-suite shower room adds a layer of comfort and privacy, completing a suite that feels both elegant and restful.

The second bedroom enjoys a dual aspect, drawing in light throughout the day and offering a calm, airy atmosphere, large sash window that opens onto a private balcony terrace. Built-in storage is neatly integrated, ensuring the room remains uncluttered and refined. A family bathroom sits nearby, finished with care and designed for ease of use.

A Private Upper Retreat

Above, the house reveals a final, unexpected layer. The upper level has been shaped into a study and library, a quiet retreat set apart from the main living spaces. It is a place for focus or reflection, with a sense of intimacy that contrasts beautifully with the openness below and the original opening domed lantern roof-light insuring abundance of natural daylight and views of the stars at night. This truly is an amazing space.
