Internally the property is Deceptively spacious and light, extending to almost 2100 square feet with high ceilings and generously proportioned rooms. Many of the rooms have direct views onto the cathedral, with tall sash windows to frame the view.

The ground floor accommodation comprises a sitting room, separate dining room, kitchen with utility area, cloakroom and internal access to the garage.

bedroom plus a separate family bathroom shared by the additional bedrooms.
