Currently, the accommodation consists of separate living and dining rooms, as well as a large sun room that overlooks the garden. There is also a modest kitchen and downstairs guest cloakroom. To the first floor are four bedrooms, three of which benefit from fitted wardrobes and a family bathroom with walk-in double shower.

Externally, the property offers fantastic space to both front and rear. The South-facing rear garden is spacious, with a patio area coming directly out from the house. An ornate bridge takes you over a pond to the swimming pool area and a large and particularly private lawned area extends beyond this. The covered side access takes you to the front of the house, where there is ample off street parking for multiple vehicles.
