Probably dating from the early 1800's the principal house has elevations of local stone and mellow brick under a clay tiled roof. Wood stoves, exposed beams and period panelling set the scene for this unique country residence. The front door opens to a hall with cloakroom and stairs to the first floor. A snug, with wood-burning stove, is located on the right which then leads into the farmhouse kitchen/breakfast room with Aga and on to the dining room and utility room.

On the first floor there is a master bedroom suite and two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom.
The detached cottage was converted from a period stable building some years ago and now provides an excellent and well proportioned secondary residence. On the ground floor it has a sitting room with fireplace, kitchen, two double bedrooms an en-suite bathroom and further shower room. Adjoining is a study area and further upstairs bedroom with a separate access and which could a provide a perfect home office if required.
