A conservatory, located off the drawing room, overlooks the gardens with French doors onto the terrace. Two staircases, one from the utility room and the other from the entrance hall, lead to first floor accommodation comprising a principal bedroom with dressing area and en suite bathroom and two further bedrooms and a family bathroom.
