The original house had been extended to provide 2 reception rooms, a kitchen and 3 bedrooms. However in doing so the layout of the house had become impractical, for example the main hall and staircase could only be reached by entering through the living room. The house was completely remodelled to provide 4 reception rooms, kitchen / breakfast room, 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms including a new double height entrance hall and gallery.
