Tucked away off the road, in a quiet and private position, the single storey section of the building was part of the original fort and the two storey section was added in the late 1950's.
The accommodation has been updated and decorated in Farrow & Ball colours in recent years and a feature kitchen by Neptune has been installed. Approached via a mock drawbridge, the reception hall has a medieval theme, all creating an historic first impression.
On the ground floor there is a lovely large drawing room with feature central wood burner and library and a feature sweeping staircase leads to the first floor. Also on the ground floor there is a cloakroom and utility room, a large family/games room and three bedrooms and a bathroom.
The aforementioned feature staircase leads to a gallery style dining room with a balcony and the lovely kitchen/breakfast room leads off this area. There are double doors from the breakfast/family area onto a large roof terrace garden.
From the dining area an inner hall leads to a first-floor cloakroom, a study/bedroom and principal bedroom suite with a recently installed contemporary-style shower room.

A large lawned area to the front of the house with walkways through mature shrubberies, adds to the charm of the property. A real feature is the first-floor roof terrace which is enclosed by a high brick wall and iron balustrades. This also links to the balcony from the dining room and main bedroom.
