The accommodation is beautifully presented and has some exposed beams, providing additional character in the wonderful drawing room and dining room. There is a lovely fitted kitchen/breakfast room with access to both front and rear garden and with views across the farmland. Accessed off the family room is a separate ground floor annexe with its own access, providing an en suite bedroom and sitting room. There is a wide terrace accessed from the drawing room and the kitchen/breakfast room overlooking the south garden. Treetops has a wonderful feel, and is very well presented throughout.

The front garden is on the south side of the house, laid principally to lawn with mature hedging and some lovely shrubs and trees securing the boundaries.
