The property benefits from 4/5 reception rooms and a large studio, a kitchen to the south of the property and a master suite with loft room in addition to two further bedrooms and a wet room off the main landing. A separate staircase gives access to a self contained staff flat. To the side of the house and at a lower level there is a swimming pool changing area, plant rooms and workshop.
