Impressive entrance with flagstone floor, character sitting room with Inglenook style fireplace and wood burner, principal bedroom and guest bedrooms both with vaulted ceilings and exposed timbers, fabulous garden room overlooking the gardens, mature gardens backing onto a paddock and country views.
Constructed of local ironstone beneath a slate roof with oil fired heating and double glazed windows, the property provides substantial and versatile accommodation arranged over two floors.
A spacious entrance hall with a feature Oak staircase leads to the first floor. The ground floor accommodation features a large sitting room with an impressive Inglenook style stone fireplace with a wood burning stove and windows to each side; exposed ceiling timbers and French doors open to the garden. There are three further reception rooms, including a dining room (currently used as a snug), study and a fabulous garden room with a vaulted ceiling and double doors open to the beautifully maintained gardens. The kitchen is fitted with a range of base and eye level units complemented by a range of fitted appliances including an oil fired Aga. The utility room is adjacent to the kitchen and provides access to an integral double garage.
To the first floor, there are five bedrooms. The principal bedroom and guest bedroom are of a generous size and both feature vaulted ceilings with exposed timbers, en-suite bathrooms and a range of fitted wardrobes. The remaining three bedrooms are served by a family bathroom.
The property also has two separate roof mounted solar powered systems on the roof of the rear elevation. One system heats the hot water (in need of servicing and a minor repair to recommission), whilst the other photovoltaic system produces electricity which is sold back to the grid providing an annual income of not less than £1,200.00 per annum.

The property has a block-paved driveway providing parking for several vehicles leading to the double garage.

There are several established trees including walnut, silver birch and fruit trees including apple, pear, greengage, damson and cherry.
