An entrance door opens through to a central hall with doors leading off to the sitting room and study.

The kitchen has ample storage cupboards, an island unit and built-in appliances including a four ring gas hob and electric double oven. There is a further extended area on the side of the kitchen where the sink and further storage are located along with a door to the outside.
