Windows in the main house have new bespoke Georgian sash double glazed wood frame windows.

There is a range of solid wood wall and base cupboards with handy pulled out drawers to the corners, pull out larder unit and granite worksurfaces. The flooring has traditional terracotta coloured tiles. There is also a handy breakfast bar and room for a family sized table.
