Facing due south over the garden is the 23 ft drawing room with French doors, a window with fine views and a handsome fireplace with open fire. A separate sitting/garden room, with outstanding natural light and garden views, sits on the southern elevation of the house with wall-to-wall fitted shelving and extensive windows.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom suite extends across the western elevation of the house with far-reaching views from the picture window; it has a dressing room and large bathroom including both a bath and a shower. There are four further double bedrooms, one single bedroom and four further bathrooms (three en suite). On both floors the large landing areas provide additional, informal living space.

On the eastern boundary is a traditional brick outbuilding, greenhouse, brick-built potting shed with gardener’s wc and the utility area of the garden designed for composting, refuse, log storage. On the far southern boundary is a small vegetable garden. The drive, flagged by yew and box hedging, continues up to the house where it meets the large stone flagged terrace connecting the house and garden. Facing south, the lovely rear garden is walled to all sides and landscaped for enjoyment throughout the day. There is a formal par terre garden with lavender and holly encircled by clipped box hedging and divided by gravel paths, and a 10ft wall lined with standard Portuguese laurel, sculpted yew and well-established shrubs underplanted with spring bulbs. The main area of lawn is enclosed by a south facing wall and deep herbaceous borders planted for all year colour.
