The house is approached into the reception hall with a lovely staircase rising to the first floor. The two reception rooms in the Georgian part both have fireplaces. In addition to the sitting room, which has an old brick floor and a wood burning stove, is the sun room with folding doors along the south western side, overlooking the garden.
