The property has been renovated to create what is an extremely adaptable family house. The rooms are all well proportioned and mostly overlook the attractive walled gardens and farmland beyond. The house can be divided into two parts as the Coach House, which is attached to the house, has a separate entrance and is currently used as office space with accommodation above. There is the potential to use this as a self-contained annex.
