A number of the bedrooms have period fireplaces and or built in cupboards. Tilton is approached via a winding drive, flanked on either side by mature trees and as the drive turns a corner, the house and its setting can firstbe appreciated. 

Outbuildings include a wisteria-clad unconverted oast, an adjacent aviary housing an L shaped pool (currently not working) and changing room and a summerhouse/workshop. Stretching away from the house, the main York stone terrace gives way to expansive lawns via steps leading down through the gardens to the old grotto and former tennis court.
