The rest of the ground floor accommodation includes a boiler room with WC and sink, office with door to the garden, double bedroom with built-in cupboard and en-suite shower room and snug/bedroom 6 with views to the garden.

The quality and attention to detail continues to the first floor where the light and spacious landing gives access to four bedrooms and the family bathroom. The principal bedroom is impressive, being triple aspect, with Juliet balcony enjoying fine views over the garden, land and surrounding countryside.
