The dining room features an internal window allowing an abundance of natural light to flow through.

The rear of the ground floor is a superb open plan extension, which was added in 2013 as part of a series of restorations and improvements notably celebrated at the York Design Awards.

A further double bedroom plus three piece shower room complete the second floor accommodation. The third floor is currently home to an office, plus single bedroom with a dormer window.

A basement was created under the renovations to create a cloakroom, and is accessed via a stone staircase off the entrance hallway.
