This room has two tall windows to the front elevation, matching the kitchen, along with a focal fireplace. Double doors form here lead into the sitting room which is a light and airy room with windows overlooking the rear garden and a fireplace with a woodburning stove inset. At the rear of the house is a downstairs cloakroom and useful boot room leading out into the garden. From the hallway a stone staircase leads down to the cellar, where there are two full height rooms.

Rising the staircase reaches a half landing, where the family bathroom sits along with a sizable airing cupboard, before ascending up to the first floor where four of the bedrooms are situated.  All four bedrooms are of double proportions, but of particular note is the master bedroom which sits to the rear of the property.
