The first floor comprises five bedrooms and three bathrooms, with the principal bedroom suite featuring a high vaulted ceiling, a walk-through dressing room, and stunning countryside views. The second floor is currently configured as a home cinema room with dormer windows and built-in storage, with the potential for an additional bathroom.

A lower ground floor leisure suite includes a large open-plan games room with a door leading to an external staircase, a custom-built gymnasium, a utility, boiler rooms, and a storage room. An internal link provides access to the self-contained annex over the triple bay garage, complete with its own front door.

Gardens and grounds:
Honeysuckle House is situated on a beautifully landscaped garden of around 2.65 acres that includes formal gardens to the rear and side of the house. This area features a heated swimming pool, a large paved seating area, various shaped lawns and flowerbeds, and a perfect area for kids with various climbing frames and slides. The gardens are tastefully designed with walled perimeters, and beyond the formal gardens lies additional land with potential for use as a paddock or further amenity space, subject to the usual planning consents. The property also features a large studio/timber chalet previously used as a home office, which provides additional space for work or recreation. The automated, wrought iron entrance gates, audio entry phone system, triple garage, and parking space for 15 cars ensure that the property provides plenty of security and convenience.
