From the front hall are two reception rooms which both overlook the garden to the front of the property. Both rooms benefit from feature fireplaces, traditional beams and wood flooring.

Shop
Leasingthorne Farm previously hosted a butchers shop which can be seen on the floor plan. This is currently as it was, and hasn't been renovated retaining its attractive traditional features. This space can be easily transformed and used as part of the house if desired.

First Floor

Second Floor

To the rear of the traditional buildings sits three modern agricultural buildings.
