In more modern times, the house has been sympathetically extended and refurbished throughout to provide a lovely mixture of light and modern living with the property's original age and charm protected.

Period features include an open fireplace, a wood burning multi fuel stove, elm and pine internal doors, exposed wall and ceiling timbers, exposed stone walling and several feature stained glass windows.

Recent improvements include the oak framed kitchen, boot room, and dining room additions, particularly the octagon shaped garden room, underfloor heating to part, various roof lights, lovely bespoke fitted kitchen with two oven Aga and circular island.
