It is approached across a mono block paved forecourt, leading to a covered, tiled porch to a solid front door with leaded glazed side panels.
This opens onto the entrance hall, with wood strip flooring and an easy rising staircase to the first floor.
There are cupboards under the stairs and a modern guest cloakroom. The ground floor offers a ceiling height of 2.6m which gives that wonderful airiness about it.
