The second reception room is used as a living/dining room and is exceptionally spacious, enjoying a dual aspect and ornate cornicing to the ceiling.
The kitchen/breakfast room offers a good range of fitted units, a Rangemaster range, windows to side and rear elevations and room for dining. Adjacent to the kitchen is a useful store and the utility room, which is plumbed for white goods and also houses the boiler. Also on the ground floor is a modern shower room, and access to the integral garage (7.74m x 3.66m)

Several of the bedrooms boast fitted wardrobes and there are two shower rooms, one of which is a 'Jack and Jill' en-suite, serving two bedrooms.
