On the first floor are a total of five bedrooms. Adjacent to the principal bedroom is the dressing room, which with alterations, has the potential of being used as an en suite bath/shower room. In addition to the family bathroom is the 'Jack and Jill' shower room, shared between two bedrooms.

GARDEN AND GROUNDS Creel House is approached through a 5-bar gate onto a tarmacadam driveway, flanked by lawns and well-stocked shrub borders, that leads down to the front of the house. The driveway then continues into the 'working part' of the gardens, providing further parking. On the southern side of the house is a substantial terraced area, flanked by stone retaining walls with an abundance of lavender, with the formal lawns beyond, extending down to a magnificent cedar. In the western corner, is the heated swimming pool set in a private sun trap area. The southern boundary is defined by a brick wall with a field beyond. The eastern boundary which has an abundance of wild flowers, overlooks a neighbouring field. The gardens are all well maintained, interspersed with well stocked flower and shrub borders, incorporating rhododendrons, azaleas, hydrangeas, magnolias and roses.
