The Living Room would provide a spacious living area or Family Room having a feature fireplace, while the Sitting Room is equally spacious with open fire and dual aspect windows and internal access door to the rear Dining Room.
A particular feature of the Dining Room is the uniquely designed fronted book case to one wall which provides a secret entrance door to the Cellar providing useful cold storage.

Elsie's Cottage - A former self contained cottage which had been used as separate accommodation in the past but is now in a dilapidated state requiring complete refurbishment as there are no facilities fitted.
It offers accommodation on two floors with great scope to return to a separate self contained cottage either for use for a dependant relative or holiday letting. It has a spacious ground floor room which would make an excellent reception room with a central hallway providing access to a landing area and two rooms on the first floor.

Externally - The property is accessed along a wide private drive which leads along the side of the property to a hardstanding area adjacent to the two detached brick built outbuildings which are currently used for storage.

The immediate rear garden is lawned with matured trees and shrubs with the oil tank and septic tank situated within this area. The rear garden then continues at right angles and provides a good-sized garden which backs onto open fields.
