Upstairs there are four double bedrooms, including the well-proportioned principal bedroom, which has its own wash basin and small dressing room. The first floor also has the family bathroom, while there is a further bathroom to the ground floor.

The annexe provides splendid further accommodation for guests or family members, and could be used as a holiday let; subject to the necessary consents. The accommodation includes a comfortable reception room, a dining area, a fully equipped kitchen, two double bedrooms and a bathroom.
