Completing the ground floor are adjacent utility and boot rooms alongside the entrance and there is a ground floor bedroom suite. An eye-catching bespoke staircase with solid oak treads and hand crafted steel balustrades leads down to the lower ground floor and rises to the first floor, where there are a further four double bedrooms, all with luxury en-suite bath/shower rooms, each with underfloor heating.

Externally, the property is approached via a sweeping driveway guarded by an electrically operated five bar gate, beyond which the drive splits, one spur leading to a large parking area for several cars in front of the garage/stable block, the other leading down to the main house and cottage and studio where there is additional parking. The garden wraps around the buildings and is laid predominantly to lawn with a large South and West facing sandstone patio leading from the kitchen flanked by a planted flower bed. The remainder of the land is made up of lawns and paddock area to the south and west bound by well maintained dry stone walls. The guest cottage and studio have designated garden areas, each with stunning views and on the western flank, close to the valley floor there is a timber breeze house perfect for entertaining.
