The Listing (Entry Number 1112205 dated September 1981) describes the house as a 16C house with a timber frame and plastered with a plain tiled roof and a range of 19C casement windows. The house has undergone major works over the last decade including re-building of the house and extensive works including insulation of the original building, new wiring and plumbing and a new roof. As a result, there is all the character of an older building but with all the benefits of a more contemporary building, including a modern gas fired heating system, secondary and double glazing. Most recent works include the installation of a wood burning stove in a central chimney towards the middle of the house.

Currently, bedrooms 1 & 5 are part of a master suite with dressing room and an en suite bathroom accessed directly down the second stairway from bedroom 1. Bedroom 5 could equally lend itself to being a nursery, home gym or another study.
Outside, there is an extensive driveway at the front which will accommodate about five cars and leads to the single garage. The gardens are well established both to the front and back with lawns, a terrace, plum and apple trees, herb and vegetable garden and a garden shed. The plot measures about 70ft by 60ft.
