Upstairs, four of the five bedrooms look to the south with the triple aspect principal bedroom being particularly well-proportioned and featuring fitted wardrobes and an ensuite bathroom with free-standing bath and separate shower.The further four bedrooms are all generous sizes with fitted wardrobes and there's a family bathroom and separate family shower room too.

The garaging has space for two vehicles, as well as a connected workshop and separate tool and machinery store with a wc. There is extensive storage in the loft space above.
The garden features structure and design from the former Victorian mansion, with stone walls, balustrade, and steps linking the upper and lower lawns.
To the side of the kitchen there is a wide York stone patio on the footprint of the former Victorian orangery with a potting shed nestled into the old garden wall. A brick path leads to the garden studio. A further paved terrace spans the rear elevation of the house and overlooks the lawns and the swimming pool.
