A period four double bedroom detached property with outbuildings including stabling and garages in approximately 1.9 acres of gardens and paddock in a semi rural position.
The property is believed to date originally from the 1920s. It has been extended more recently and now has approximately 1,887 sq. ft. of accommodation. The entrance hall has stairs to the first floor, a cloakroom, and doors to the sitting/dining room and kitchen/breakfast room. The ground floor also has a separate utility room with a door to the garden and a further cloakroom. There are four bedrooms on the first floor. The principal bedroom has a range of fitted wardrobes and an en suite shower room. There is also a separate wet room and a family bathroom. A pillared entrance opens into an extensive driveway which provides parking for eight cars and access to the double garage which has a remotely operated door and power connected. There is vehicular and pedestrian access on both sides of the garage to the formal gardens and fenced paddocks. The gravel drive continues through a gated access on the far side to lead to additional garaging, stables, and storage barns.

The dual aspect sitting/dining room has a feature stone fireplace housing a log burning stove and French doors to the rear garden. The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted in a range of solid wood cabinets and has a breakfast bar, an inset one and a half bowl sink and drainer, and space for appliances.

The formal gardens are enclosed by mature hedgerow and have a partly covered paved outdoor entertaining area, and a central lawn with borders and mature trees interspersed. There is a timber garden shed. The paddocks are enclosed by a combination of mature hedgerow, post and rail and post and wire fencing. The small paddock area was used as a Corral with hardstanding beneath the surface. A gate leads to the large paddock, with a wooded area at the rear.

The detached three car garage measures just under 37 ft. x 26 ft. 8 and is entered via three sets of electric roller doors, with power connected. It incorporates an inspection pit. Adjacent to the garages is an open fronted barn which could be used as an area for washing horses. There are three stables and a tack room at the side of the garage with a covered area to the rear. Adjacent to the paddock there are separate blocks, one with three stables and one with a further shelter and an open fronted barn with power and water connected.
