The property is for sale for the first time since the 1980s and offers scope for updating and extending subject to planning permission. Retained period features include exposed beams, in particular in the impressive sitting room, originally the village forge, which has a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams, and a fireplace with a gas fire. The dining room has an inglenook fireplace recess with a timber bressummer. The ground floor also has a study, a kitchen/breakfast room, a wet room and a garden room with Velux skylights and bi-fold doors to the rear garden. There are three bedrooms and a bathroom on the upper floors. There is a lawned front garden and a driveway which provides parking and access to the nearly 31 ft. garage.

There are two double bedrooms and a three piece family bathroom on the first floor. The principal bedroom is dual aspect and has a range of built-in wardrobes. The third bedroom occupies the whole of the second floor and has a window to the side and a Velux window. It has restricted head height but would be suitable for children or occasional guests. The garden room has a door to the wet room and could be used as a ground floor bedroom if required.
