The dining hall sits in the heart of the house and has glazed patio doors leading out onto the south facing timber decked terrace from which there are fabulous views. The sitting room is also south facing through a large bay window, and has patio doors which lead out to the west of the house. A corridor from the entrance hall leads to two ground floor bedrooms, both of which have fitted wardrobes and share a family bathroom which has a bath as well as a separate shower cubicle.

A bespoke engineered staircase leads up from the dining hall to the first floor landing. Here there is an open study area.
