“The proportions of the house are fantastic, the ceilings must be around 8 ft. high which creates a magical atmosphere when the rooms are filled with guests at parties,” says Simon. “We have two large reception

rooms and two dining rooms; meaning at dinner parties you can

split the ladies and gentlemen into two rooms,” he laughs.

Georgian homes are known and adored for their elegance and simplicity, and this property is a classic example of this. “I have always

admired the symmetry of Georgian properties, they have plenty of kerb appeal with

the large ceiling heights and beautiful sash windows,” says Simon.

Throughout the 20 years of living here, Simon has made many improvements on both large and small scales. “We built a ground floor annexe which has a lovely bedroom with en suite and a reception room; it would be fantastic for an elderly

relative or a young adult that needs space from mum and dad,” explains Simon. “We also carried out a vast number of smaller

improvements such as creating additional storage space, which is bespoke to the property, decorating throughout, fitting a new and more

efficient boiler and many more,” says Simon.
