To the first floor are four Bedrooms with fine views from the rear, two with wash hand basins and the main bedroom having the benefit of an En-Suite Shower Room/WC, whilst all are served by a Bathroom.

Off the landing stairs rise to the Second Floor where there are two rooms (which could be further bedrooms if required) with window enjoying fine views towards the South Downs along with a bar, two store rooms and extensive range of eaves storage cupboards.
