Subsequently converted into a private residence, the house today provides spacious and characterful accommodation with gas central heating and double glazed windows. An entrance hallway leads to a partially converted garage, providing both useful storage and a study with fitted furniture. The kitchen/breakfast room has an excellent range of units, with good quality worksurfaces and an integrated fridge/freezer, dishwasher, ovens, induction hob and under floor heating. Glazed doors lead to a long garden room again with under floor heating that enjoys a commanding south westerly aspect overlooking the rear garden, Bickwell Valley and across to Muttersmoor, the golf course and down to the sea. An inner hallway has a downstairs WC and leads to the separate dining room which is double aspect, with glazed doors opening into the rear garden. There is both a useful larder cupboard and a passageway leading to a utility room with gas boiler and pressurised hot water cylinder. The sitting room is double aspect and features an impressive fireplace with gas flame stove and an oak mantle.
