The front door sits within a porch and opens into an elegant hall, with stairs to the first floor and access to the main reception rooms, many retaining period features. The drawing room is an impressive room with an attractive fireplace flanked by cupboards.
The dining room has an attractive polished wooden floor, a painted fireplace, a bay window with French doors opening into the garden.
There is a sitting room with a fireplace and cupboard storage and a at the heart of the house an excellent Brownlows kitchen with a good range of fitted units, an island, a gas and electric Aga range cooker and French doors to the garden.

On the second floor is a master bedroom with and en suite bathroom and four further bedrooms and two further bathrooms. The second floor is arranged as a flat with a fitted kitchen/sitting room, bedroom 6 and bathroom 4.
The stable block and coach house are used for garaging, an office, boiler room and storage, but could be converted into further ancillary accommodation.
