The dining room, overlooking the front, has an exposed brick display chimney breast, and the home office/family room has a built-in cupboard and shelving. Also on the ground floor is a kitchen/breakfast room, a utility room, a refitted cloakroom and a rear lobby with a door to the garden. On the first floor there is a principal bedroom with built-in wardrobes on one wall, and a refitted en suite shower room. There are four further bedrooms, and a refitted bathroom, with part tiled walls and pattern tiled flooring, which has a roll top bath with a rainfall shower and a separate shower attachment, a pedestal wash basin, a WC, and a heated towel rail.

The kitchen/breakfast room has a range of Shaker style wall and base units with wood block work surfaces incorporating an inset butler sink and drainer. There is a fitted gas Aga with an exposed beam over, a breakfast bar, and a cupboard housing the boiler. Tiled flooring continues into the utility room which has matching units, a butler sink set into wood block work surfaces, spaces for a washing machine and a tumble dryer, and a larder storage cupboard.

A driveway leads to double electric oak gates which access a further driveway leading to the oak framed double garage. Steps from the stone walled patio rise to the rear garden which is mainly laid to lawn with fruit trees, shrub borders, and a brook. There is a picket fenced play area with a playhouse, and a paved area with space for a shed.
