On the opposite side of Esperley Lane is a paddock which totals approximately 1.12 acres (0.45 ha).
Ground Floor - The double glazed entrance porch leads into the hallway, with original Victorian tiled flooring, which in turn gives access to the library, living room and hallway, with the living room overlooks the side, front and rear gardens whilst benefitting from a cast iron solid fuel burner.
Contrasting in style, the library occupies a position which takes advantage of an outlook over the gardens. The impressive drawing room which forms parts of the later extension, boasts a bay window with views of the rear garden.

The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
