The property has been the subject of a substantial and sympathetic refurbishment programme. The accommodation is arranged over three levels, as shown on the floor plan and the rooms enjoy good head height.
 

GROUND FLOOR An old oak door opens into an entrance hall with a brick and stone floor and exposed timber framing. The triple aspect drawing room, which enjoys far-reaching rural views, has a part vaulted ceiling with exposed timbers, a large inglenook fireplace and a heavily carved Gothic style leaded light glazed screen with archway leading to the dining room where there is a flagstone floor, door to garden and large inglenook fireplace with copper canopy. Oak studded doors open into a snug with exposed beams, linenfold panelling and a large sash window to the rear looking across rolling countryside.

The double aspect kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a range of bespoke cabinets comprising base cupboards, drawers and open display shelving beneath woodblock work surfaces with a stainless steel double drawer dishwasher, freestanding range cooker and glazed double bowl sink.

The hall opens out to a utility room/boot room with a tiled floor, a range of cupboards with an oak worktop over, butler sink, plumbing for washing machine and a door to a walk-in pantry.

There are three further bedrooms on the first floor, all of a good size, which share a family bath/shower room.

To one end is a productive kitchen garden with compost bins and a lean-to greenhouse. All-weather tennis court.
