Approached by a graceful driveway, the house extends to around 4,294 sq. ft. and has been lovingly maintained by its current owners. It retains much of its early architectural character, including timber sliding sash windows- a hallmark of the Georgian style along with several original fireplaces. 

The entrance porch opens into a generous central hallway, leading to a formal sitting room on the left and a living room on the right. The ground floor also includes a family room, dining room, kitchen, conservatory, cloakroom with WC and a laundry room.
