The front of the property is built in the Georgian style with the attendant room proportions, light and ceiling heights. The property features many decorative elements including cornicing, ceiling roses and picture rails. In later years there were Victorian additions and in recent years the property has been sympathetically extended to create an open plan kitchen/breakfast/family room (completed 2012). The basement has been converted to provide additional accommodation. There are large sash windows throughout the property, allowing plenty of natural light into the house.

The panelled front door with fan light above opens into the entrance hall with sitting room to the right, dining room to the left and the staircase rising to the first floor.
