Description
The house has been adapted to comprise the farmhouse, as well as two holiday let cottages, being Primrose Cottage and Bluebells Cottage, whilst the third cottage, Woodcutter's, is a detached building a short distance to the rear of the house.
All are beautifully presented with fully fitted kitchens and good quality fixtures and fittings and a thriving holiday letting business has been established. The three cottages can accommodate a party of eleven. Further descriptions and photographs of each cottage can be viewed at (search Bluebells Cottage at Greatrock Farm and see bottom of page for links to Primrose Cottage and Woodcutters Cottage).
Beside the drive is a paddock (currently accommodating a small herd of alpacas) and around the house are lovely gardens and grounds, bisected by the stream, with sitting and recreational areas including croquet lawn, pétanque area, summer house, barbecue area etc.

There is a substantial games barn clad in wood with bi-fold double glazed doors, a 12kw wood-burner, home-cinema system, competition standard pool table, table-tennis table and foosball table.
