There are four bedrooms, an open-plan lounge-diner, a kitchen with laundry room, a games room, a shared bathroom and a separate shared toilet. There is also a fifth bedroom that could be used as a staff sleep-in room, should people require overnight support. Outside there is a large garden to the rear, with a ramp leading to a lawned area.
