Situated on the first floor the principal bedroom has an en suite bathroom, refitted in 2020 with contemporary sanitary ware.

The gardens stretch away mainly to the south and provide a delightful setting with terraces, level lawns interspersed with specimen trees and varieties of fruit tree and an ornamental pond.
