The property has a reception hall, drawing room, dining room, sitting room, kitchen/breakfast room, family room, cloakroom, main master bedroom suite and five further bedrooms with a further family bathroom.
Outside, the property is approached by a long gravel driveway, and doors from the drawing room open onto an attractive verandah leading onto well tended lawns. Beyond this is a lovely orchard and to the west is a pond surrounded by mature trees.
In addition to the main house there is also open-fronted barn garaging, an old bothy barn, a brick barn, a summer house in the back garden and a hard tennis court. In total the property stands in around two acres of private land.
