At this point, one can turn left in to the left-hand side of the building, or turn right towards the original staircase and rear of the property. Turning left brings one in to a small but spacious room, and a doorway leading to the next room on the right.

FRONT DOOR DOOR FRAME CEILING COVING

A fireplace in the left hand, again to warm the room in the side corner, but the attention turns to the large window that looks out towards the side of the property. This is a good 8-ft window, four panes of glass and surrounded by original paneling around the entire window. With the sun streaming in and lighting up the whole of the white washed plasterwork on the wall, it is a nice setting as a private room.

SIDE ROOM FIREPLACE REAR ROOM ARCHWAY HALLWAY

One leaves the room through the centre door and finds themselves in the hallway. Here it is possible to go up the stairs on the right hand side, cross the hallway to the rear of the front room, or turn left and head down the hallway towards the right hand side of the house.

Taking a left turn, there are steps that lead down to the basement, another entrance to the front room, plus three more exits. The left exit leads to a small room at the rear of the house, for the use
of the kitchen area.

FRONT ROOM WINDOW HALLWAY SIDE WALL CEILING CUPBOARD

The doorway straight ahead leads to the outbuildings, and the doorway to the right leads to the side exit to the front of the house.
The left hand side door being arched, the centre door being of straight topped, and a beautiful plaster archway leads to the front side exit. Leading towards the front side exit, is another side room, which is used for a side cloakroom. Returning to the hall, one can enter the front main room through the doorway below the stairs. Here, this room is again very spacious as with the back room.There are three exits to the room, the doorway just entered, the door in to the hallway and the side door from the porch area. This room takes up the right hand side of the front of the house and is very
bright due to the three large windows at the front of the room. Here is also a fireplace on the outside wall to keep the large room warm. The internal decoration is grand with high ceilings and painted plasterwork on the walls. This is an excellent front room and provides good views over the entrance drive and the main road, and is always kept warm by the open fire.

As one can see, the ground floor of the property is in a very poor condition. Little parts of the ceiling of each room remains and rain is getting in from the holes in the roof.
No internal decoration really remains apart from the small alcove, part ceiling and wooden panel surrounds on the rear and side windows.

The ground floor is at the mercy of pigeon droppings, which have rotted the floor in many parts of the building, making it very unsafe with the cellar system directly below.
