In one corner of the lounge is a bread oven dating back to circa 18th Century, providing a glimpse into the history of the property. Off the lounge is a conservatory with views across the land and opens to the garden.

The substantial kitchen benefits from a pantry and provides ample space for entertaining and cooking and leads through to the dining room. A utility room is positioned off the kitchen with plenty of space for appliances. The first-floor benefits from a large landing with a family bathroom and two single bedrooms. There are two substantial double bedrooms, both benefitting from ensuite facilities.

Ryde School with Upper Chine is the main independent (HMC) School
on the Island, offering co-education from pre-school to sixth form on a daily, full or weekly boarding basis.
