Situated within the Rowlands Gill conservation area, the house has UPVC glazing (apart from some single-glazed stained glass windows) and gas central heating, with its generously-sized rooms and many traditional features.

At the end of the hallway is the breakfast room, with some built-in storage, and leading through to the fitted kitchen, which has extensive cream units and includes a Rangemaster cooker and integrated appliances. There is also a toilet off the hallway, close to the entrance.

The stairs lead up to the first floor, with the bathroom accessed off the half-landing, and recently refitted with a contemporary white suite that includes a mains-fed shower over the bath. Off the landing there are three large bedrooms, with the main bedroom having an ornamental fireplace and bay window, overlooking the garden and with views beyond, and the second bedroom having a wash basin.

Further stairs lead up to the second floor, where there is plenty of raised storage off the landing, including built-in cupboards and further storage into the eaves. An upper landing area leads to the fourth bedroom, which has a large dormer window to enjoy the views of the Derwent Valley, and the fifth bedroom/study.

Externally, there is a beautiful and well stocked lawned garden with a pleasant patio and seating area out from the conservatory, while there are flower beds alongside the block-paved driveway and car port - which provide plenty of parking space - and another small lawned garden with a wooden shed. There are iron gates at the entrance, onto Dipwood Road, and a small, separate wooden gate for pedestrian access.
