Of the reception rooms, the entrance hall is unusual as it is mostly double height with a gallery looking down onto it. Next to that, the triple aspect drawing room has an ornate marble mantelpiece, while on the other side the dining room overlooks the garden.

The open plan kitchen/breakfast room has an inglenook fireplace housing an AGA and opens up into the glass-roofed garden room, which agents describe as "resulting in a very light and airy living space".

You approach the house through electric gates, up a "sweeping" gravel driveway that leads to a parking area next to the coach-house which provides parking and storage.

Part of the garden has been laid out as a lawn, with a border designed to be a good habitat for butterflies and bees while a kitchen garden is also laid out with fruit trees including fig, quince, pear, apple and greengage. Another part of the garden has been turned into a wildflower meadow.
