The ground floor includes an oak framed porch, a hallway and four separate reception rooms: a sitting room, a snug, an office, and a library. The kitchen/breakfast room has a walkthrough to the dining room which is open to the orangery with a lantern style roof and bi-folding doors to the garden. On the first floor, the dual aspect principal bedroom has a four piece en suite bathroom and there are four further double bedrooms and a five piece family bathroom.
