The Old Dairy Farm (Main Residence) - The main house exudes timeless charm and quality, with accommodation centred around an outstanding entrance hall featuring full-width dual aspect windows and a striking return staircase. The heart of the home is a traditional farmhouse-style kitchen, complete with central island, range cooker, ample dining space, and adjoining utility room.
The ground floor offers generous and versatile living areas, including a welcoming lounge, a formal dining room, and an impressive 29-foot sunroom overlooking the beautiful gardens. A further reception room, currently used as a large office/sitting room adjoins a convenient downstairs W.C.

Four of the bedrooms benefit from en suite facilities, including the luxurious principal suite which features a walk-in wardrobe and elegant en suite shower room. The tasteful décor throughout reflects the property's character and rural surroundings while offering modern comforts.
The Annexe - Constructed to complement the style of the main house, the self-contained annexe offers spacious and well-planned accommodation over two floors. On the ground floor, a generous lounge with feature fireplace opens onto a bright conservatory – an ideal space for relaxing or entertaining guests. A large dining kitchen with utility room, separate sitting room, and guest W.C. complete the ground floor accommodation.
Upstairs, there are two well-proportioned bedrooms served by a bathroom. This charming annexe offers flexibility for extended family living, visiting guests, or even potential holiday let use, all whilst retaining privacy from the main residence.
Outside Space - The property stands within stunning grounds of approximately 1.27 acres, with sweeping lawned gardens stretching around both the main house and annexe. A secure gated entrance opens to a large block-paved driveway providing ample off-road parking, complemented by a detached stone outbuilding for useful storage.
To the rear, the gardens open into a delightful paddock and feature a range of attractive outdoor living spaces. These include a patio with built-in wood-burning stove for cooking and heating, and a seating area with established grapevine growing across a wooden pagoda – a perfect setting for alfresco dining or relaxing in the sunshine.
