In the original cottage is a sitting room and dining room either side of the original front door, and a Shaker-style kitchen/breakfast room. The remainder of the ground floor is made up of an entrance hall, utility room/cloakroom and access to the cellar. Upstairs, are three bedrooms and a bathroom.

Externally, the private garden is mainly laid to lawn with mature shrub and flower borders, and a terrace running along the rear of the house. A single garage to the side of the house can be accessed from the front (where there is one parking space) or the back. There is a further drive with access from The Street, and parking at the back of the garden.
