The south front was added in the 18th Century to perfect Georgian proportions and the west wing at the start of the 19th Century using local stone cut and squared with Bath stone dressings. The house is approached via an in and out lime tree drive of some 600 yards. The present owners have reconfigured the internal layout and created some excellent rooms designed for family living. Of particular note is the spacious new kitchen / breakfast room which lies at the heart of the house, with French windows opening onto the formal garden. Original features include the Lias flagstone floor in the dining hall and utility area which formed part of the 17th Century house. Large sash windows flood the house with light. The boot room/study has a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams. The sitting room has fitted cupboards and bookcases. The kitchen, boot room and study are arranged enfilade, creating cosy individual rooms or a large open space if required.
