The main house can be accessed via the shop, side entrance or from the rear. On the ground floor, a useful storeroom (currently used as a guest bedroom) offers further potential for updating. The first floor provides a kitchen/breakfast room to the rear, opening onto a decked terrace overlooking the gardens, along with a principal bedroom, family bathroom, separate shower room, study area and both dining and sitting rooms to the front, rich in character with exposed beams, stonework and secondary glazing. The second floor offers additional bedroom space and storage.
