The present owners have undertaken a significant programme of alterations from stripping the property back to its original frame and including a new roof, re-wiring, re-plumbing and replacement of the kitchen and bathrooms. The works were carried out with the in line with guidance from the local authority for listed buildings and the result is an outstanding, well presented family home which retains all the charm and character of the original period building. There is also planning permission in place for a single storey extension to the western elevation to create a superb breakfast room with gable end opening to the garden. Additionally, the owners have obtained change of use for barn at the rear of the property which is in the process of being converted to residential accommodation.
