PROPERTY
The property comprises a substantial detached unlisted farmhouse with later additions. In total it offers over 4000 sq. ft. of space. The house has an abundance of character and a wealth of period features including exposed timbers and an impressive inglenook fireplace in the sitting room. It has been a much loved family home but it is now considered, would benefit from some updating. The accommodation is spacious and versatile.

The official front door opens to a hallway area adjacent to the dining room with exposed brick chimney breast. There is an inner hall area with bay window to rear and stairs to the first floor. The sitting room is a delightful double aspect room with raised end and superb fireplace. To the rear is a superb conservatory overlooking the pond and with double doors to the garden. The kitchen/breakfast room is a comprehensively fitted space with range of wall and base units and breakfast bar. There is an excellent pantry and a door to the rear. There is a secondary hallway off the kitchen with a large boiler cupboard and a door to the single storey addition. It currently comprises a large reception room and a study but it is considered this would make an excellent annexe as it has independent access. On the first floor there is an impressive principal bedroom with stone fire surround and two further bedrooms, plus a large landing and a family bathroom. The second floor is dividing into two spaces with a window in one end and could provide further accommodation subject to the necessary consents.

Attached to the property are two carports both with a store to the side. One houses the oil tank. Beyond are two good stores. The house is approached from the road via a long sweeping gravel driveway passing the principal paddock and detached barn. The remainder of the grounds are delightful feature of the property and laid largely to lawn interspersed with mature trees and shrubs. There is charming pond providing a haven for wildlife.
