The property retains many original features including fireplaces, beamed ceilings, exposed stone walls, and latch and brace doors. There is approximately 2,917 sq. ft. of accommodation set over two floors including, on the ground floor, an open plan farmhouse style kitchen/breakfast/dining room, two sitting rooms, one with an inglenook fireplace, a snug and a family room with a log burning stove. Two separate staircases access the first floor where there are four bedrooms, an en suite bathroom, and two en suite shower rooms. The property also has a cellar. The attached tandem garage has an adjoining utility room to the rear and storage in a loft room above. The driveway has space to park up to six cars. The gardens face south and are well tended with established trees and planting for extra privacy.
