St Peter's dates back to 1908 and is a substantial family home with accommodation laid out over three floors. The property has a wealth of period features from beautiful leaded windows to the high ceilings, deep skirting boards, picture rails and coving. The entrance hall has slate flooring which runs through into the kitchen and utility room, creating that wonderful sense of flow. The kitchen has an array of units painted in a rich warm cream which are complemented by oak work surfacing and a white double butler sink. There is space for a dishwasher and a fridge / freezer and ample space for a table and chairs. To the side of the kitchen, steps lead to a boot room and storage room and a further door leads you to a small courtyard area where there is a log store. The property benefits from having a separate utility room which has space for two washing machines and a tumble dryer. The sitting room, adjacent to the kitchen, makes an ideal family room. The chimney breast houses a wood burning stove, ideal for those cosy nights in by the fire, and to one side of the alcove, there are fitted cupboards. The music room has an open fireplace and leads you through to the drawing room and the dining room. The drawing room has fitted bookshelves to one wall and a beautiful bay window with views of the hills. A wooden fire surround has a decorative cast iron inset with pretty floral tiles either side. The dining room has a tall open fireplace with tiled inset and a square bay overlooks the garden and a door leads out to the side garden. This wonderful room used to be the music room and the renowned composer Elgar visited and played here. The cloakroom completes the ground floor. From the main entrance hall, gracious stairs lead to the first floor landing where doors lead to five double bedrooms. The master bedroom is privately situated at one end of the landing and has an en-suite bathroom.

To the landing there is also an airing cupboard with shelving and a separate laundry storage area.
