The building has attractive elevations enhanced by large sash windows, and a traditional slate roof. The front door leads into the generous central reception hall.

The elegantly proportioned drawing room has a wood burner, bay window with window seat overlooking the front lawn and French windows to the rear garden.

The sitting room also has a wood burner flanked by dresser style units and opens through to the kitchen with granite work surfaces, island, integrated appliances. Beyond the kitchen is the dining area with doors out to a second garden terrace.
