Upon entry to the house there is an entrance hall that lead to the reception room. The ground floor has a double reception room which has been opened up and a kitchen at the rear, all the rooms on the ground floor have good ceiling heights, the windows have all been replaced with double glazed windows and the reception room floors are the original wooden boards that have been meticulously sanded and varnished.

The rear part of the reception room is used as a dining area as it leads nicely on to the kitchen at the rear.
