The over 3,870 sq. ft. of accommodation includes three reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room and a cloakroom on the ground floor. Period features include an encaustic tiled floor in the entrance hall, original fireplaces, and stripped internal doors and exposed floorboards that continue from the ground floor to the majority of the first and second floor rooms. Modern amenities include a fitted kitchen and contemporary sanitaryware. The first floor has four bedrooms, a shower room, a cloakroom, a laundry room and the family bathroom. On the second floor there are three bedrooms and a gym which has access to a boarded loft space. There is also a basement which is currently used as a family/games room. The front driveway provides off street parking and there is a single garage in a block opposite the property. Gated side access leads to the walled rear garden which is principally lawned with well stocked borders and a paved terrace. There is also a timber garden shed and a pergola.

The rooms also have moulded cornices and ceiling roses and the snug has built-in alcove storage. The over 19 ft. by over 15 ft. sitting room has a canted bay window which partly overlooks The Embankment; the dining room, measuring over 16 ft. by 15 ft. has a French door to the rear. On the lower ground floor there is a basement room with a window which is suitable for use as a family/games room.
