The drawing room is dual aspect overlooking the garden, there is a wood burning stove set into a stone fireplace with display shelving and cupboard to one side, a library area with fitted bookcases and a door opening into the dining room which has a wooden fireplace with open grate and views over the side garden. A further door opens into the large kitchen/breakfast room fitted with a good range of wall and base units with ample work surfaces incorporating 1 ½ bowl sink unit and integral dishwasher. There is a two oven, oil fired AGA and also a Neff electric oven and four burner ceramic hob. Off the kitchen is a walk-in pantry and a large utility room with wall and base units and a Belfast sink, space for a freezer and washer and dryer. Floor mounted oil-fired Worcester boiler.

Inner landing with airing cupboard and WC off leading to a sitting room which used to be a bedroom which opens into a large double bedroom with high ceilings and exposed beams.

Adjacent to the house is an un-converted barn which is used as a storeroom but has potential to be joined with the adjacent room currently used as a very comfortable, large office and also the upstairs room to create a holiday/dependant relative cottage. At the end of the barn is a large woodstore with a built-in kennel, the oil tank and access to a large first floor store. On the other side of the courtyard is a stone-built workshop with machine garage.

The gardens: there is a pretty, stone flagged courtyard which is an excellent, sheltered, sun trap, there is a water feature surrounded by box hedging. A pathway leads down to the main garden which is mainly laid to lawn with well stocked borders to the sides and an orchard to the bottom end with various fruit trees. A pathway leads to a summer house and then two car ports and a garage. There is a further modern, three bays farm building with two stables and an open garage. Off the garden are two fields, ideal for someone wishing to keep a pony or other livestock. At one end of the large field our clients have, some years ago, planted a small copse of trees.
