The accommodation to the ground floor is centred upon two reception rooms. There is a useful addition to the West end of the house, with a ground floor bedroom and part converted wet room.

The East end of the house forms a great kitchen family room with additional stores and a useful utility set off. The first floor accommodation is well laid out with a particularly large main suite set to one end, there is a dressing area and en-suite.

There are two further bedrooms and a good size bathroom on the first floor, with two further bedrooms on the second floor.

Outside there are attractively stocked mature gardens surrounding the house, which offer complete privacy. As you enter the farm off the country lane there is a traditional courtyard of stone and brick barns, which have huge appeal for those requiring large amounts of storage space.
