The accommodation is spread over two floors and comprises sitting room, dining room, study, snug, kitchen/breakfast room, utility room and cloakroom plus four bedrooms and two bathrooms plus shower room on the first floor.
Outside the grounds extend to around 10 acres and are mostly made up of grazing paddocks and gardens which incorporate the lake, tennis court, large indoor/outdoor swimming pool, vegetable garden and two stable blocks plus a summerhouse and a double garage. The grounds are home to lots of wildlife including deer, rabbits and owls, to name just a few. Outbuildings consist of a range of barns and two stable blocks.
