The Main House
The heart of the property is a characterful, extended family home that blends period charm with modern comfort. Step into a welcoming entrance hall that flows into generous ground-floor living spaces—including a sitting room with a feature fireplace, and a light-filled 22 ft. Reception dining room that opens onto a sunny south-facing terrace. A farmhouse-style kitchen, complete with range cooker, wooden cabinetry and ample workspace, is ideal for family meals or entertaining guests. A separate utility kitchen, laundry room, office, cloakroom and larder offer practicality in abundance. Upstairs, you’ll find four well proportioned bedrooms—two of which benefit from large en suite bathrooms—as well as a stylish family bathroom.

Duckdown Cottage
Adjoining yet private, this spacious two-storey cottage is perfect for guests or extended family. It features a bright living room with fireplace and garden access, a fitted kitchen with utility room, and two double bedrooms—each with its own en suite.

The Dairy Cottage
With single-level living and a sleek, open-plan design, The Dairy Cottage is another standout feature. It offers a stunning kitchen, living and dining space with bi-fold doors opening to its own private garden, a freestanding log-burning stove, three en suite bedrooms, and a guest cloakroom perfect for holiday letting or independent living.

The Milking Shed is also single-storey but is detached and features a vaulted open-plan reception/kitchen with French doors to a private garden, in addition to a pair of bedrooms served by a modern shower room. This section of the property has been converted in recent years, giving a modern feel.

The Jam Shed is available as a two bed static caravan, which brings in additional holiday let income.
