On the ground floor, there are three reception rooms, including the former Post Office, plus a kitchen and storage room.

The former Post Office is listed as a playroom but offers potential for a variety of uses, having an independent staircase to bedroom three. It also features a heavily beamed ceiling, bay windows to two aspects and a door leading outside.

An internal door opens to a dining room with fitted storage cupboard – and then through to a living room with brick-lined fireplace and wood-burning stove.

It is fitted with a good range of base units to four walls, with contrasting work surface over, and matching wall cabinets to three walls.

There is also a fitted electric oven with hob and hood over; space and plumbing for a washing machine and dishwasher; and a deep pantry providing further storage.

The useful storeroom is found on the other side of the hallway.
