Well arranged flexible internal accommodation offers huge potential for modernisation. The ground floor comprises an impressive entrance hall, sitting room, dining room, elegant drawing room, music room, breakfast room, kitchen, cellar, and two downstairs cloakrooms. On the first floor a split level landing leads to five bedrooms and a family bathroom. A guest bedroom has an en-suite shower room. An additional space, currently housing a boiler, could become another bathroom. Further attic rooms, currently accessed via open steps, could form two more double bedrooms and an additional loft room or en-suite.

A double gated entrance leads to a large cobbled courtyard which provides ample parking and offers a garage, brick built utility and garden store rooms.
