This room with patio doors opening onto the front courtyard, features an Inglenook fireplace with a log burner and is the perfect place to unwind in the evening with your favourite tiple and a good book.

From the hallway, take the stairs to the first-floor landing where you will find a further 4 bedrooms.

Completing the 1st floor is a door leading up a staircase to the attic; this space, although great for storage has the potential for development (Subject to planning permission).

The outside space has been purposefully divided into two distinctive areas. The manicured grounds around the house have been laid mainly to lawn and stretch just beyond the driveway naturally flowing into the meadow, with privacy being provided by a line of conifer trees on one side and original hedgerow and mature trees following the small stream along the other side. Completing the domestic area of this smallholding is a large patio with summer house, parking for multiple vehicles and a large free range chicken run with bespoke chicken accommodation.

The remainder of the property with 3 outbuildings of various sizes and plenty of land is prime for commercial development and could provide a multitude of business opportunities subject to planning approval. These include: Stables, Kennels, Camping/Glamping, conversion into holiday cottages/Airbnb accommodation or simply separate dwellings. There is also separate access to the commercial portion of the property.
