The accommodation is nicely presented throughout and includes feature stained pine doors, skirting boards and surrounds throughout, very much in keeping with the character of the house, coved ceilings in many of the rooms, and a massive stone fireplace in the sitting room.

Outside, and at the rear of Archway House, is a most attractive and good sized Courtyard Garden, being stone paved and with raised flower beds and ledges on one side, and which is fully walled creating a secluded, sunny and sheltered sitting area and a super site for pots and tubs.
