The primary 16th/17th Century farmhouse comprises a Grade II listed detached character dwelling with private walled garden. The property has not been occupied for in excess of 40 years, affording the purchaser a unique opportunity to sympathetically modernise a building of historic value to their own taste.

Of a traditional rubble stone construction with granite mullion windows under a slated pitched roof, the property benefits from various character features throughout, with a spiralling staircase that stands beneath a splayed roof. To the rear of the property is a fully enclosed walled garden offering space for secure and discrete amenity space.

Whilst the property is in need of substantial renovation and modernisation, the dwelling offers an abundance of scope to create a remarkable home. It should be noted that as the property has been unoccupied for many years, it has been removed from the council tax register and a purchaser will need to relist.

The property is understood to benefit from a mains water and electrical connection however these services have not been routinely used for many years.
