There is good sized accommodation over two floors with the principal rooms having above average ceiling heights and enjoyment of the outlook. The layout can be seen from the floor plans. There is an open fire in the sitting room and a wood burning stove in the drawing room. The study or bedroom 5 can use the downstairs shower room and this, single storey wing, could be adapted into a self-contained annexe, with its own entrance, subject to the necessary consents.
