The property has been unoccupied for some time, but it has been looked after on a caretaking basis in the recent past. Repair works have been carried out to the house in recent times which include re-roofing with moder day roofing felt and repair work has been carried out to the brick work and render facades.

This would allow for a modern, kitchen/living/dining room and guest wc at ground floor level with a bathroom on the return on the first floor.
With the exception of the basement and the attic, which have been worked on in the recent past, the interior of the house is mostly intact and is a very good example of its period. The house is approached by a flight of granite steps that lead to an ornate tiled landing flanked by cast-iron railings, with decorative motifs and beautifully cast balustrades.
