Internally the house was a former medieval open hall house and still retains many period features including open fireplaces, exposed timbers, mullion and transom windows and a crown post.
In need of an element of updating to modern day standards, the ground floor accommodation provides two well-proportioned reception rooms, kitchen/breakfast room as well as a large utility/cold room.
The first floor provides a spacious principal bedroom with views over the surrounding gardens and a walk-in wardrobe. There are a further two bedrooms and a newly remodeled and re-fitted shower room completing the accommodation.
