The kitchen/breakfast room is modernly fitted, with a good range of wall and base units and integral ovens and a hob, as well as an electric four-door Aga.

The farmhouse offers six bedrooms, four of which are accessed off a galleried landing on the first floor. This includes a good-sized master with fitted cupboards and an en suite bathroom, and a second bedroom which also has its own en suite.
