Stairs rising upwards to the two upper floors and original doors radiate off. Facing the front are two large reception rooms offering light formal living spaces with deep box bay windows and decorative fireplaces. The family/breakfast room, once the original kitchen, faces the lawned gardens to the side and is a bright room.

On the second floor are two further large double bedrooms with vaulted ceilings.
The first and second floors benefit from two bathrooms, two kitchenettes and a separate WC. The room across the upper floors could easily be reconfigured to create bedroom suites and further bathrooms bringing a contemporary and practical feel to this stunning period home.
