An imposing stone fireplace with inset wood burner and a square bay window onto the front garden. The kitchen area has a large central island with granite worktop and cupboards below, further low-level units have a granite worktop with inset double Belfast style sink. There is a two oven AGA with five burner gas hob. The kitchen leads into a large utility room with further units, granite work tops and inset Belfast sink unit, space for a large fridge/freezer and plumbing for a washing machine and dryer. Off the utility room is a rear hallway with glazed roof and doors out to the parking area and the back. A good-sized study is off the other side of the utility room with a back door and a cloakroom off with low level wc and hand basin. To the front is a lovely bright sitting room with large square bay window and a stone fireplace with inset wood burner.
First floor: Main bedroom, dual aspect with lovely views over the front garden, stone fireplace and door to an ensuite (jack and Jill) bathroom with tiled floor and full suite comprising cast iron roll top bath, large corner shower cubicle, bidet, wc and hand basin with cupboards below.

There is a large double garage with up and over electric doors. To the other end is large workshop which was formerly stables. A short walk away are two further substantial modern buildings, one is a single large open space whilst the other has six modern stables, a large tack room and an area large enough to park a horse lorry. To the rear of the barn is a stack yard and a useful log store. To the side of the barn is a full sized menage.
