Description & outside

In brief, Station Farm comprises a three bedroom dwelling, two bedroom extension and one bedroom annexe together with a range of agricultural buildings and pasture land.

The Farmhouse
The front door leads through to two reception rooms, both with fire places, a well equipped utility room, downstairs W/C and kitchen. The staircase rises to a landing with three double bedrooms and a large family bathroom.

The Extension
The extension offers scope for multigenerational living with a well-equipped kitchen and utility room, sun room and downstairs W/C. The first floor provides a family bathroom and two double bedrooms, one with a dressing room and en-suite. The extension is currently a separate part of the property, however, there may be the opportunity to connect this to the Farmhouse to create a larger dwelling.

The Annexe
The annexe projects from the extension and offers a reception room, kitchen, double bedroom and W/C. This may again have the ability to be conjoined with the rest of the property or be used as a standalone guest suite.
The property requires modernisation throughout but provides prospective purchasers an opportunity to develop the property to suit individual needs.
