This striking farmhouse is believed to date back to the 16th century and enjoys generous proportions and a wealth of character, in particular a beautiful ceiling plaster to the master bedroom. The property is of rendered stone elevation under a pitch tiled roof and enjoys oil fired central heating throughout. The accommodation in brief comprises a large entrance hall with Victorian tiled flooring and stairs rising to the first floor. To the side is a kitchen which flows into a dining room with former Inglenook fireplace. To the rear is a WC and utility and to the other side of the hall are two impressive reception rooms enjoying a southerly aspect and views over the gardens.
