The sitting room has double glazed windows to the front and side, a stone fireplace with wood burner and a door into the garden. From the sitting room is access through to the dining room, there are three double glazed windows to the front, all with window seats, an impressive Inglenook fireplace with wood burner and stairs to the first floor with an understairs cupboard. The dining room has steps to the kitchen, which has a double glazed window to the front and is fitted with wall, base and drawer units, a one and a half bowl sink with mixer tap and drainer, integral dishwasher and fridge/freezer, oil fired Aga and an electric hob. The oil fired central heating boiler is sited in the kitchen and there is a door through to the conservatory/utility room, which has space/connections for a washing machine.
On the first floor is a landing with a linen cupboard. There is a single fourth bedroom with a wash basin and window and a family bathroom with a window comprising WC, wash basin and bath with shower over.

The garden wraps around the house and has several levels, the first has a path leading around the house, the front is laid to lawn with flower beds. Behind the house steps lead up to a couple of levels of lawn, bordered with mature shrubs and railway sleepers. At the top of the garden is a gate onto the road and the oil tank. Adjacent to this is a copse with mature trees. There is a selection of fruit trees at the top of the garden, including apples, pears and plum. There is a single garage with power.
