Upstairs, there are four well-proportioned bedrooms, one with an en-suite bathroom and a family shower room.

The gardens extend to around three-quarters of an acre and are mainly laid to lawn, bordered by mature hedges and trees.
Beyond the formal gardens lie over five acres of private meadow and mixed native woodland, offering privacy and open views. The gently undulating meadow is bordered by hedgerows and scattered trees, with areas of long grass and wildflowers. Mown paths run through the meadow and into the woodland.
