The split level versatile accommodation includes a family room with oak flooring which continues into the uPVC double glazed conservatory, two principal en suite bedrooms, two further bedrooms, a utility room, and a main bathroom on the ground floor. On the first floor there is a kitchen/breakfast room, a triple aspect sitting room with a feature fireplace with an inset multi fuel burning stove, and a cloakroom.
