The study has a tiled fireplace with solid fuel stove and a library area to the rear which has bookshelves on three sides and a deep cupboard. Adjoining the dining room is a family room which connects to a kitchen in the extension behind.

A rear hall has a glazed door to the garden and further deep cupboards. Stairs lead up to the first floor landing. There is a fully tiled bathroom at mezzanine level. The drawing room is on the first floor and has a tiled fireplace with wooden mantel and recessed shelves. Also on this floor is the principal bedroom which has extensive built in wardrobes; bedroom 2 and a shower room.

There are two further bedrooms on the top floor, both with coombed ceilings and dormer windows. These also have built in cupboards.

Outside
