The Property

Featuring a combination of elegant reception rooms and a beautifully appointed farmhouse kitchen incorporating lovely quality units and modern controllable aga.

The property boasts up to seven bedrooms, making it an exceptional family home and ideal for those seeking an equestrian facility or farm.

At the rear, a generous boot room/utility area provides access to the courtyard on the south side of the house. The first and second floors currently comprise six to seven bedrooms and three bathrooms.

The owners have begun renovating the top floor to create what could become a fantastic letting suite with independent access via secondary staircase from the rear.
