The property retains many original features including pine flooring, period fireplaces, picture rails, quarry tiled floors and panelled internal doors.

The accommodation briefly comprises entrance hall, drawing room, dining room, morning room, kitchen, cloakroom and garden room (constructed in 2014) to the ground floor. On the first floor there are 5 bedrooms, a cloakroom and a shower room.

Outside, the property has large established private gardens and a larger than average garage.
