Stepping inside, the house is brimming with character features such as beamed ceilings and fireplaces, two of which have wood burning stoves.

Completing the ground floor is a good sized plumbed utility room with stable door with WC and basin.

On the first floor, a part-galleried landing is again well lit with natural light, having two windows to the front and one to the rear. This provides access to three double bedrooms, the principle with an en-suite shower room/WC and walk-in wardrobe. There is also a family bathroom. Finally, a fourth double bedroom is accessed by a door and staircase from the landing.
