With a wealth of period features throughout, the property also benefits from generous ceiling heights and solid wood and flagstone flooring. The reception rooms are well-proportioned, in particular the magnificent dining hall with exposed beams, and a large inglenook fireplace with a wood-burning stove. The light-filled drawing room has a part vaulted ceiling and full-height windows overlooking the garden from three aspects, as well as another impressive inglenook style fireplace with brick chimney breast and hearth.
The traditional farmhouse-style kitchen is fitted with a range of handmade wood units, a butler sink, and an Aga. French doors lead onto the terrace and garden, creating the perfect opportunity for outdoor entertaining.

Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
