The Property
A lovely family home set in a beautiful rural setting and offering flexible living space and presented to a high specification. The current owners have carried out extensive works to the house and separate barn complex and extended the main house to form the magnificent buildings you see before you. The heating system, plumbing, and wiring have all been replaced or renewed. The main house boasts four receptions rooms; a spacious sitting room with inglenook fireplace, a dining room, a breakfast room, and a spacious study/office space. A beautiful country kitchen comes equipped with modern rangemaster cooker and plenty of storage units, complimented by a large utility space off the breakfast room. The farmhouse includes a self-contained annexe, with living area/kitchen, shower room, and double bedroom. Taking the main stairs, on the first-floor you will find a grand master suite, consisting of a generous double bedroom with adjoined dressing room and ensuite, along with a second large double bedroom and main bathroom. Beside the annexe is an individually accessed bedroom and ensuite bathroom, previously run as a bed & breakfast. This supplement to the holiday let business could easily be continued, or the space could be easily combined into the main property/annexe as an additional bedroom suite.

The Holiday Lets
The former barn is now divided into four separate self-contained holiday lets, as briefly described detailed above. Each of the lets are a different layout and have been converted to a very high standard. All six bedrooms are doubles and have access to an ensuite, and each one has it's own generous living space. The holiday let side of the business has been dialed back and running for 7 months of the year, staying below the VAT threshold, but this could easily be ramped up and pushed further. A boiler room contains a separate heating system that services the barn accommodation.

Outside
The house and barn form an L shape to the front-left corner of the 3 acre plot of grounds (STS). In front of the house is a driveway with off-road parking for multiple vehicles, and further down the lane is a separate vehicular access point that leads to the holiday let parking and beyond to the rest of the land and CL, complete with electric hookup points. Most of the grounds are kept laid to grass, with a small wooded area to the bottom of the plot that attracts all sorts of wildlife.
