The bespoke wooden kitchen has a double range cooker with herringbone tiled splash back, induction hob, wine fridge and aurora worktops. The snug/sitting room two, lies in the extended part of the property with bi-fold doors to the rear and a door to the front drive. Off the snug is the sitting room with bay window and eco fire, which could also be used as bedroom four. There is also a secondary kitchen and shower room.

The first floor is reached via two separate staircases. The original part of the house provides a beamed double bedroom with views of the pond .
