It is in a beautiful setting with views across its own land, at the bottom of the Chilterns escarpment.

The house is arranged over four floors, including the extensive basement. The ground floor comprises a large welcoming reception hall, with doors off to the drawing room and dining room which connects to the kitchen breakfast room and family sitting room. There is also a playroom, estate office, boot room, pantry, utility room and two WCs.
