Inside, the mansion offers large, light-filled rooms with period features including wood panelling, cornicing, panelled doors, fireplaces, and an original organ in the hall. The accommodation includes opulent reception rooms, a luxurious kitchen, a billiard room, a playroom, and a two-bedroomed caretaker's flat.

Galbraith describes the estate as centred on the Category A-listed mansion with extensive reception and bedroom accommodation. The listing notes that the estate includes seven residential properties, productive farmland, hill grazing, commercial forestry, a stocked reservoir, and established sporting interests, offering opportunities for conservation, rewilding and woodland creation.
