The farmhouse, cottages and outbuildings sit within established grounds with mature trees, orchard planting, lawns and attractive rural views.

The principal farmhouse is a charming detached period home offering spacious and adaptable family accommodation.

The ground floor includes two generous reception rooms, both with wood-burning stoves, together with a contemporary farmhouse-style kitchen featuring painted cabinetry, timber work surfaces and a central island.

Upstairs are three double bedrooms. The generous principal bedroom has a dressing room (that could be a bedroom if required), together with an en suite shower room. Bedroom two also benefits from an en suite, with a separate family bathroom serving the remaining accommodation.

Adjoining the farmhouse is a substantial two-bedroom annex, providing excellent independent accommodation. Kitchen, sitting room, external access, two bedrooms and two bathrooms, making it particularly suitable for multi-generational living, letting or visiting family.

Two fully converted cottages also form part of the holding and are currently occupied under AST's, providing an established rental income.
