There is a separate dining room which then adjoins a generous size open plan kitchen/breakfast/living room with patio doors and wonderful views out onto the garden and land beyond. There is a separate utility, guest cloaks and a useful study. On the first floor there are 3 good size bedrooms, which are then served by a bathroom. Outside the gardens wrap around the house on 3 sides, together with an extensive sun terrace.

There is a concreted main yard, part of which is railed off for loose housing in conjunction with a multi-purpose livestock shed adjoining the Dutch barn. To the rear of these buildings there is a gravelled access to a 2 bay livestock housing building. All the main livestock buildings have the benefit of mains water, predominantly to water bowls.
