On the ground floor are four reception rooms; a cloakroom, a butler's pantry, a scullery and galley kitchen off the breakfast room. Each of these rooms are decorated with characterful furniture that wouldn't look out of place in a museum.

Both front living rooms have fireplaces and one had stained glass window work in the bay windows. A third reception room, at the back of the house has French doors that open to the back garden patio.

On the first floor there are four double bedrooms, as well as a 'box' room which offers one of two home office spaces. The second floor leads onto bedroom number five, and a space that could be used for another study area.

The back garden is south facing and includes a large patio area and lawn. The lawn has a water feature and a second 'quiet' patio area at the bottom of the garden, close to a garden tool shed, green house and ornamental pond.
