Parts of the building are believed to date back to the sixteen hundreds, a lot of the stud work and ceiling beams are very reminiscent of this period. The building has a grand facade with a stylish portico leading to the front door, however the internal layout and configuration is much more traditional Farm House, contradicting the more sophisticated frontage. A rear lobby leads to a ground floor shower room, perfect for cleaning up after a hard day toiling on the farm. The kitchen breakfast room is an absolute all rounder a room for all seasons, a place to snatch breakfast and plan your day, or a more intimate space for family's to enjoy a meal or perhaps entertain friends. There are two lounges on the ground floor, one of which is a cosy space with fire place with oak bressumer, with views out to the well at the side of the property. The second sitting room is larger with windows to the front and side, giving the owners views over the farm yard buildings and the pond. There is a third reception room which is currently set as a traditional dining room.
On the first floor there is a spacious landing off of which can be found the four well proportioned double bedrooms and a well equipped family bathroom.  

THE FARM AND LAND This is a substantial plot which offers so much potential and scope for development. Subject to the necessary permissions the Barn could be converted in to a separate dwelling or self contained annex. The stable block likewise could be converted in to bed and breakfast accommodation or offices. The out buildings and land, subject to a few tweaks, is perfectly set up to offer ready made equestrian facilities with stables in situ and land enough for a manege. If you are a car enthusiast, storage is superb with the cart lodge and barn affording dry storage for multiple vehicles.

The total plot runs to approximately (STLS) 2.2 acres, the boundary line is mostly set with post and rail fencing. The Farm House and outbuildings surround a shingle parking area, with a central brick built roundel creating a round-a-bout style driveway. There is a pond to the front of the house which is established and teeming with wildlife. The grounds are mainly laid to lawn, interspersed with the occasional ornamental tree. To the rear of the property there is a copse of trees creating a mini woodland area. There is a working well to the side of the property, the owners still draw water from here to water the grounds.

On the south facing roof of the stable block the owners have had fitted sixteen solar panels, these produce the electric for the farm in addition to heating the water. Whilst there is a traditional oil fired boiler in the farm house two air source heaters supplement the heating reducing the frequency of when the oil tank needs replenishing.
