The property is set back from the road in a peaceful village location and enjoys open countryside views to the rear. It sits in over 3,000 m² of land with a garage, three open barns, a workshop, various small outbuildings and a swimming pool that requires a new liner.

While not currently marketed as a going concern, the property has strong potential to become one again.
