The house is understood to date to the late 1800’s and was modernised in 1970 and extended in 2000. The house includes a spacious conservatory and provides comfortable accommodation throughout.
There are pretty enclosed lawned gardens which are well planted with a wide variety of shrubs, plants and small trees. Beyond the formal garden is a separate area with fruit trees.
Holiday Cottages

These sit to the side of the house and comprise a former traditional barn that was converted into two 2 bedroom semi-detached holiday cottages in 2000.
The cottages are available for let for about 35 weeks a year, being closed from November to February. The joint income before the deduction of agent’s fees in 2023 was about £26,000.
Each cottage has small patio to the rear and they share a large lawned garden.
