Up the staircase to the first floor are two formal principal reception rooms comprising the drawing room and formal dining room both with original fireplaces, and a study. On the second floor is the principal bedroom suite and a guest suite both with feature fireplaces and en suite bathrooms with free standing baths. There is also a separate family shower. On the third floor there are two additional double bedrooms, one with an en suite bathroom and a further double room which could either be used as another sitting/TV room or bedroom 5.

The front of the house has a magnificent flagstone terrace, and the principal lawned gardens lie to the rear of the property with a pleasant mixture of herbaceous borders and mature trees, providing several areas for al fresco entertaining including a Julian Christian garden building with
