On the first floor the property provides five bedrooms, a spacious family shower room and a separate family bathroom. The property’s two remaining bedrooms and a small store can be found on the second floor. Part of the farmhouse has been used for seasonal self-catering holiday lets, providing a good secondary income.

The garden is laid mainly to gently-sloping lawn and features an enclosed rear terrace, ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining, the whole enjoying far-reaching views over neighbouring rolling farmland. A swimming pool is located within a detached building to the side of the driveway and garden. Access to the farmhouse is currently via the shared track and driveway around the courtyard of barns in Lot 9. However, land will be sold with the farmhouse to enable a new private driveway to be laid coming in from the north. Please discuss with the agent for further details. The Old Workshop is a separate unit of accommodation and is offered together with the farmhouse. Accommodation is arranged over two floors, with a large open plan living room/dining room/kitchen at one end, including doors to a small rear courtyard. The kitchen has a range of modern appliances including bottled gas hob and electric oven and fitted units. A well-lit corridor at the rear leads to doors to two bedrooms and a ground floor bathroom with separate shower, and a staircase leads to a small landing and a pair of large attic bedrooms, each with a skylight window facing the farmland valley below and understood to have plumbing in place for an en-suite bathroom if required.
