The house has plenty of character features and could be used as a large family home, holiday home or even for commercial purposes (chambres d'hotes, B&B, holiday apartments, luxurious retirement home or even as a restaurant) yet work is needed to bring it back to former glory and add modern touches. There is oil-fired central heating as well wood-burners and open fireplaces. Almost all the windows are double glazed and the roof is in good condition.

Attached to the house and accessible internally or externally is a large barn of 180m² floor space that could be used for a variety of purposes. There is another smaller barn with attached cottage that needs to be renovated and could be used as extra accommodation.

The garden, in front of the house, is a mix of lawn and woodland and gently slopes away to give some nice views. Additional land is available at extra cost.

A beautiful and very spacious Manor House with great potential in a lovely and quiet location. Really must be seen!
