The accommodation is generous and offers a great variety in terms of flexibility. There are five reception rooms on the ground floor, starting with a lounge at the front, a lovely snug with inglenook and office in the centre portion of the house, leading to a large kitchen and dining/breakfast room, cloakroom, study/bedroom five and finally a peaceful garden room with double doors opening out onto a patio and the lovingly created main garden.
