To the rear of the property is an enclosed, mainly walled, south facing garden which links back into the main receptions.

Internally the property benefits from two main reception areas including a stunning, open plan, living kitchen with a high vaulted ceiling with exposed timbers and access out into the rear garden. The second reception again offers a great deal of character with a half vaulted ceiling and feature fireplace with solid fuel stove, and having an aspect to the west into the garden.
