The sitting room opens into the rear lobby. Here, there is an under stairs storage cupboard and entrance to the cellar, stained pine floor boards, together with a door to the rear garden and to the kitchen/breakfast room. The ground floor also benefits from a utility room and separate w.c.
The first floor landing has oak stave flooring, timber panelling and exposed ceiling timbers. There are three bedrooms on this floor and a "Jack and Jill" bathroom. The original 16th Century split winder staircase leads up to the second floor which has a further two bedrooms and another "Jack and Jill" bathroom.
