It has a large reception hall which runs the full length of the house, providing access to the snug, the dining room, the drawing room and the kitchen, all of which face south, with views of the garden. There are open fireplaces in all the reception rooms and the kitchen has been modernised and boasts an Aga. There is also a study, cloakroom, a laundry and drying room.The first floor has a landing running length of the house and there are six large bedrooms. The master bedroom has a linked dressing room and its own bathroom and there is a separate family bathroom.

The north wing of the house has a rear hall, a reception room/kitchen and a valeting room. Upstairs are two double bedrooms and a bathroom. This could be refurbishe­d to create a granny flat. Outside, there are formal lawned gardens, specimen deciduous trees, rose beds and a tennis court. There are a number of good grass paddocks of various sizes which are well fenced and hedged. There is a timber stable block built around a concrete yard providing four loose boxes, a foaling box and a store all served by a separate access. There are also a number of outbuildin­gs including a double garage.
