The majestic inglenook fireplace in the sitting room and moulded Cromwellian crest featured in the ceiling of the master bedroom, are of particular note. Additionally, there are three/four bedrooms, three formal receptions rooms and two bathrooms. At the front there is ample parking for three/four cars, with a lovely courtyard garden and garage at the rear.
