A door from the kitchen leads into a practical rear porch area which does provide access to the side of the property, it is currently used as a superb larder—an excellent addition to the kitchen space.

One of the eye-catching spaces is the sun room, positioned at the back of the house and offering beautiful views over the garden and paddock. Double doors open directly onto the rear garden, making this a perfect spot to enjoy the tranquillity of the surrounding countryside year-round. Also on the ground floor is a cloakroom, and a staircase from the dining hall leads to the first floor.
