The property, currently on the market via Hamptons for a guide price of £1.7 million, sits in 1.3 acres of gardens and extends to 3734 sq ft of accommodation.
Natural light features elsewhere throughout the five-bedroom house, from the dual-aspect drawing room with its inglenook fireplace to the master bedroom, which has a vaulted ceiling and en-suite bathroom.
