Also on the ground floor is a good size sitting room with fireplace and splendid exposed timber ceiling, a dining room off the kitchen, a second reception room, hall, cloakroom and utility room. On the first floor are four bedrooms and a bathroom.

The building is self-contained with a bedroom, bathroom and kitchen and independent access to the lane and parking.
