The accommodation comprises reception hall, sitting room, dining room, kitchen/breakfast room, study, sun room and WC on the ground floor. The first floor provides master bedroom with dressing room and ensuite, 4 further bedrooms (1 ensuite) and a bathroom.

The extensive range of traditional outbuildings is arranged around a courtyard and offers considerable potential. ‘Lake View’ benefits from full planning permission for conversion to a 3-bedroom dwelling, whilst ‘The Stable’ has consent for conversion to a 2-bedroom annexe.
