The principal entrance to the house is from the west side porch. The front door opens into the large reception hall with its oak block floor and impressive staircase.

The house is set back from the road behind a generous private driveway which provides ample off-street parking. There is a single garage which was extended in 2000 to provide additional self-contained studio/office accommodation with w/c and kitchenette. The large and well-tended rear garden is an outstanding and rarely available feature in a street close to the city centre. Secure gates to either side of the house allow access to the garden which gently rises away from the house. It is over 60 meters long and 25 meters wide. There are large areas of lawn with mature beds and thanks to the trees it offers plenty of scope to create a superb play area for children. To the west of the house is a lean-to car port. There is a shed.
