All windows are triple glazed and the rooms have solid oak skirting and Scandinavian oak doors throughout. The house has been imaginatively designed to take full advantage of its scenic location with the clever use of glass which allows it to blend sympathetically into its surroundings.

This room also has a cast iron Georgian fireplace with a living flame gas fire set in a slate and marble surround.
