The property has been significantly extended over the years to create comfortable and adaptable accommodation, which briefly comprises: spacious reception hall, sitting room, snug, conservatory, kitchen/breakfast room, dining room, office, cloakroom, 4 bedrooms, and a family bathroom. The house and extensive gardens enjoy wonderful southerly views across the meadows and woodland.
