The house is approached via a driveway through a pair of black wrought iron gates, leading to a large gravelled area with a central round pond motif containing fish and lilies.

The house is entered through a magnificent Georgian Portal, paved in County Kerry Marble and panelled in the original Scandinavian Deal boards. The massive front door is supported by three hand forged wrought iron hinges. Opened it reveals the splendid hallway and bifurcated staircase - one of the main features of the house. Close the door behind you and the huge lock and key are revealed in all their splendid glory.

Again a lovely dark grey marble open fire place (working) is surrounded by some large comfortable sofas and easy chairs and in one corner is a Regency linen press which houses the hi-fi system.
