Internally, the property offers extensive, well-proportioned accommodation, highlighted by a spacious reception hall. The ground floor accommodates the main reception rooms, including a dining room, the drawing room with French doors opening on to terraces, an inglenook fireplace and access to the cellar and dining room, and the sitting room featuring original wood flooring, a fireplace, and enchanting views of the duck pond.
