The generous reception hall, fitted with a classical inglenook fireplace, provides access to all the principal rooms, including the impressive drawing room, family room and dining room. The ground floor has a wealth of period features on show, including wall and ceiling beams, large bay windows and paneled walls. Of historical note, bronze door knobs on the living room and dining room doors were a gift from Sir Winston Churchill, given to Lord Emmott, the previous owner.
The large, bright kitchen breakfast room has an extensive range of units and an Aga. From here, there is a utility room, a walk-in larder, and a back staircase leading to the first floor.
The principal bedroom includes a large bay window overlooking the gardens and a marble fireplace. There is also an Egyptian-themed en suite bathroom. Bedroom two also has an en suite shower room. The room has wood panels and, historic wooden closets, vintage radiators with handmade covers. There are three further bedrooms and three further bathrooms. The whole upstairs area is air-conditioned.

The property is approached via a secure gated entrance offering parking for six to eight cars to the front and side.
A brick wall surrounding the garden has been fully extended with bricks matching the house. To the right of the parking are eight cherry blossom trees. The gardens are a delight and have been greatly improved by the current owners by adding a covered patio and swimming pool. The pool is a Starline fiberglass pool, heated with a heat pump all year long, and has a UV system, salt chlorinator, Roldeck automatic cover (for children's safety), and multiple color LED lights. The covered patio is a solid oak construction with a cedar shingles roof (same as the covered BBQ area) and has hanging electric heaters for year-round use. The BBQ area has a brick wood pizza oven, an Asado style grill, a sink and a refrigerator, and a granite countertop and bar.
On the lower garden level, there are a number of laurels and Acer trees symmetrically landscaped, and on the far corner, there is a cedar tree planted next to the putting green. On the middle garden level on the back wall are eight fruit trees and two large Acer trees.
The historic pond has a fountain, lights and a large number of Koi fish (some of which have been there for 30+ years), and a powerful Oase pump and UV/filter system.
The back gate gives access to Bowyer's lane (through the gate on the left - key available). The covered garage is large enough for two cars and a very large side room storage.
The upper garden level is landscaped with Red Robbins on the back and vegetable planters along both sides.
The Stables are original 1920s topped by a clock tower. Planning approval has been obtained to convert it to a two bedroom/two-bathroom guest house.
