Featuring a striking jettied frontage beneath a substantial Horsham stone roof, one of its most appealing features is the beautiful, ancient oak timberwork both inside and out.

Beyond the sturdy front door is a handsome, grand dining hall with inglenook fireplace, flagstone floor, wrought iron artefacts and oak panelled walls. Historically, the fireplace would have been open to the adjacent, dual-aspect, medieval drawing room, in which two carved arched doorways, part of the listing, are found. A snug and the south staircase lead off. A further reception room, ideal as a large study, playroom or family room, leads off the grand entrance hall on the other side, with the quarry-tiled floor kitchen and the north staircase behind.
