The property has been beautifully restored and now features an exceptional wood constructed minstrel gallery, a domed glass roof, and high ceilings throughout. The interior boasts original features such as tiled floors, gothic arches, and stone pillars. The property has approximately 2,800 sq.ft. of accommodation, including a private sitting room, a kitchen, two bedrooms, a study/library room, and a walled garden.
