On the first floor there are six/seven bedrooms, three bathrooms ( one en suite) together with a useful additional room on the first floor used as an ironing room. Some flagstone floors, shutters to many windows, and barrel ceilings in three of the main bedrooms, are interesting period features including a string of servants' bells in the inner hall.
