The house is clearly demarked into the original property and the elegant architecturally designed addition on the north side of the property. An entrance hallway, the original entrance to the period part of the house, provides a left and right option; left to the modern part and right into the original house. The modern side is based around a remarkable open plan kitchen/dining/living area with large island and modern kitchen fittings. The room benefits from underfloor heating and has french doors opening out onto the garden on three sides. A staircase leads up to two bedrooms (the master with long reaching countryside views), both with their own en suite facilities and a glazed "link" lobby area returning to the older part of the house.
In the original part of the house a second kitchen/utility room sits alongside a formal living room with panelled walls and feature fireplace. A snug room with wood burner and oak flooring and an excellent study room then complete the ensemble on the ground floor along with a guest WC by the entrance hallway. On the first floor a further suite comes with a large separate dressing room and additional sitting room/snug/study whilst a further bedroom and separate bathroom finish the living space. Overall the house provides excellent flexibility with excellent bedroom space and a large variety of living and entertaining areas.
The grounds for the main house are located to the west side of the property, perfect for evening light. They are set in a parkland style and include the sweeping driveway and turning circle. A patio outside the contemporary addition provides excellent space for dining and entertaining whilst a car port and gated parking is set to the south side of the building.
Accompanying the house is a 2 bed cottage with 2 bedrooms and a family bathroom on the first floor together with excellent living space on the ground floor with a private garden and separate driveway.

Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
