Front doors open into a spacious entrance hall, from which one can access the kitchen, the very large lounge area with working fireplace, a staircase to the two bedrooms above, a lobby and WC, and the long hallway running the length of the ground floor. The hallway leads to three bedrooms and a bathroom, continuing to an area that was once a separate apartment, complete with bedroom and bathroom area, WC and double aspect kitchen/living room. The lounge area in the main house leads to a dining space which in turn opens into a covered veranda. The two bedrooms on the first floor are accessed from an open landing, which also has a doorway to an expansive attic space.
