Description - The Old Dairy is a charming, characterful property, which has undergone extensive refurbishment by the current owners and is a superb family home and/or lifestyle opportunity, set on a plot extending to just under an acre, including an adjoining meadow with westerly aspect to the rear of the property.

The main house offers light and spacious flexible accommodation and the room proportions are particularly worthy of note. The first-floor bedrooms are large enough for subdivision if required, subject to the necessary consent. There is a separate two-bedroom cottage adjacent to the main house making the property ideally suited for multi-generational living, or alternatively offering a worthwhile income through being let as holiday accommodation or on a shorthold tenancy. The property is accessed by a private driveway and enjoys an enviable degree of privacy. To the rear lies the westerly facing garden and meadow whilst to the front there is a large courtyard providing ample parking for several vehicles, boat/caravan storage and large double garage with EV Charging point and adjoining workshop. The owners currently run a successful Bed & Breakfast business in the main house whilst the Cottage provides additional income as a self-catering holiday let.
