On the first floor, a gallery landing leads to three spacious double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom has good proportions, fitted storage, a washroom and a separate shower room.

Outside, the well-established grounds offer a variety of interests and have been divided into separate areas interspersed by a wealth of mature trees and shrubs. There are expansive lawns, a plunge pool, a secluded summerhouse with an adjacent seating area, several vegetable plots, greenhouses, a large pond and a small copse that sits at the heart of the grounds. An enclosed paddock can be found at the back of the plot and outbuildings include a carport and a purpose-built office/cabin that makes working from home an easy option.

There is ample parking space for multiple vehicles on the driveway and a detached double garage with a utility room and an overhead studio.
