There are three bedrooms and a family bathroom leading off the main galleried landing and a separate galleried area, overlooking and reached from the dining area, has potential to be a fourth bedroom or study. Both landings have multiple Velux windows. Dual aspect bedroom one and bedroom two both have a range of fitted wardrobes and the family bathroom has a four piece suite with a WC, a pedestal wash basin, and a separate bath and shower cubicle.

The open plan kitchen area has a range of base and wall units with granite work surfaces and upstands and a matching island unit with part granite and part oak work surface and a breakfast bar. There is a gas fired Aga and a vaulted dining area with windows over the garden and stairs to the first floor.
