The house is entered via an Ionic portico, with glazed outer doors and half-glazed inner door with fanlight above.

To one side is an elegant drawing room with a wide floor-to-ceiling bay window with working shutters, an open fire and glazed double doors to outside. Opposite is a well-proportioned dining room with shuttered windows, ornate cornicing and a marble fireplace. A pretty morning room, so named as it faces east to benefit from the morning sun, has a marble fireplace with flanking alcoves, wood panelling, ornate plaster cornice and original shutters. A study and a library, with a charming bay window and glazed door to the garden, can be accessed from both the hall and the dining room. There is an adjacent shower room/WC.

The adjacent boiler room/utility has a butlers sink, wooden cupboards and work surfaces and a door into a courtyard. Stone steps lead from the back hall down to the wine cellar. The spacious galleried landing is another notable feature of the property. It offers access to six well-proportioned bedrooms, some of which have fireplaces.

The coach house is currently used for storage, but has space for garaging and a first floor storage room created from the former hay loft. There are three stables and a tack room within the charming stable building. The extensive south-facing gardens and grounds are laid predominantly to lawn, with an abundance of mature specimen trees. Three paddocks run along the southern-most boundary of the property, one containing a dew pond playing host to a myriad of wildlife. View payable Stamp Duty for this property
