Its original period features, including ornate coving, ceiling roses, and feature fireplaces, contribute to the property's unique character. Externally, the property is approached via an extensive private driveway and benefits from well-maintained, wrap-around gardens to the front, side, and rear.

Ground floor: Elegant entrance hall with access to three spacious en-suite bedrooms. Inner hall leads to private living quarters comprising a lounge with garden access, bedroom, and bathroom. Includes staircase to upper floor and access to basement level.
First floor: Five en-suite bedrooms featuring decorative coving, original fireplaces, and sash windows. Includes a laundry room and stair access to the attic.
Second floor: Eaves storage and roof access.
External Features: Generous pebbled driveway, landscaped front and rear gardens, additional parking, and a decked entertainment area.
