Original parts of the property date back to approximately 1650 with extensions added in the 1930s. The property is in need of decorative refurbishment but retains a wealth of original character features and has been a loved family home for the past 62 years.

The property offers well proportioned living and bedroom accommodation. An ENTRANCE HALLWAY, with wood block flooring and stairs to the first floor gives access to the three reception rooms. All three rooms benefit from views over the south facing lawned garden. The SITTING ROOM (19’10” x 16'1" widening to 22'1" into the bay window) has an ornate working fireplace and door to the garden.

Finally there is a ground floor SHOWER ROOM which leads through to a WC.
