The shower room has a further doorway leading into the first floor of the one bedroom cottage annex. 
The annex benefits from double glazing throughout, an impressive open stone fireplace with multi fuel stove to the ground floor and a quaint stable door to the front. At the rear of the living area in the annex is the kitchenette, fitted with a sink unit and includes a free standing cooker and storage cupboard. A door at the side of the kitchenette provides access into a secondary rear garden, ideal for giving guests within the annex a private outdoor area to enjoy. 

Externally the farmhouse benefits from an attractive front garden, laid mainly to lawn with mature plant and shrub borders surrounding. The garden is enclosed by an original stone wall and is accessed from the driveway. The cobblestone driveway could accommodate off road parking for several cars and leads from the road side to the front of the annex. At the side of the driveway there is a stone built outside and detached garage.
To the rear, the mature landscaped garden offers a variety of trees, plants and shrubs and is laid mainly to lawn with a pond to one side and a meandering stepping stone pathway leading to a gate on the boundary wall. Beyond the gate is a flourishing orchard offering mixed fruit trees. Access to the paddocks at the side of the orchard can be achieved via a five bar wooden gate. ** Our vendor clients would be open to consider splitting the smallholding title, by selling either the farmhouse with gardens and orchard, the stone barn with the land or just the land independently. Please contact our office to discuss in further detail. **
 Access to the land and paddocks can also be achieved via a wooden five bar gate positioned alongside the impressive sized, two story stone barn. The barn is split into two sections, each benefitting from a mezzanine floor. There are windows providing natural light, a wooden pedestrian door to the side leading to the wide pathway to the paddocks and a large set of wooden double doors to the front. Right of way over the neighbouring property’s driveway allows for access to the barn.
