ENTRANCE HALL
Main Entrance Hall 2.61m x 6.59m Approaching the property via a flight of wide granite steps with wrought iron hand rails, the heavy Georgian paneled hall door with classical leaded fanlight opens into an elegant entrance hall where a pair of beautifully proportioned reception rooms open up to either side. The eye is immediately drawn by the delicate sweeping lines of the original Regency staircase featuring barley twist spindles and a refined mahogany handrail beyond which there are tempting glimpses of the property’s magnificent rear gardens.
Drawing Room 4.69m x 8.50m Ideal for entertaining, the gracious drawing room has two entry doors (from front and rear of the main reception hall), reeded cornices, dado rail, picture rail and a magnificent original Regency Carrara marble mantlepiece with reeded brass inset and fitted with a coal effect gas fire.
