The property occupies a delightful setting and benefits from oil fired central heating with the majority of the windows being double glazed.

The lawns sweep round the side of the property to the rear garden which is predominantly laid to lawn with a recently planted hedge, a large willow tree and patio whilst there is a further side garden with enclosed chicken run.

As previously mentioned there is separate vehicular access to the equestrian facilities which can also be accessed from the main garden.
