The house has seven bedrooms over three floors. The large master bedroom has an en suite and beside this is a well fitted dressing room.

Two of the other bedrooms have en suites and all have wooden floors including one with a maple floor, another with mahogany and yet another with limed pine. Downstairs there is a drawingroom, family room, and diningroom as well as a particularly bright and airy kitchen. It is in a single storey extension at the back of the house and it features a vaulted ceiling with heavy pine beams, marble and beech flooring and granite topped fitted units.

The kitchen was designed as a large family space and there are two island units and plenty of room for easy chairs.
