DESCRIPTION
An immensely charming Grade II Listed farmhouse set in the middle of its delightful grounds with a range of versatile outbuildings, a very pretty detached two bedroom cottage and set at the end of a long drive. The farmhouse
is in need of updating and retains a wealth of period features to include large open fireplaces, exposed beams and wood panelling. The principal accommodation is on two floors with a further staircase leading to two attic bedrooms. The ground floor rooms flow around a central
reception hall and open on to the pretty south facing patio and walled garden.
Attached to the back of the house is a large stone built double height barn with a wooden mezzanine. Subject to the necessary consents, this would create an excellent additional living and entertaining space. An open yard to the rear sits in front of a row of stables and storage/tack
rooms, as the property is very well suited for equestrian usage. A large turning circle and parking area leads to two separate car ports and further storage. At the front of the house and facing south, accessed from the dining room, is a lovely enclosed level lawn and paved patio. A
pathway leads behind the car port to a tennis court and orchard which leads through to a sand school, next to four enclosed paddocks that lead around the house. Behind the house, again leading out to the paddocks, are large
agricultural wood and steel framed open fronted storage barns. Across the driveway, and set privately behind a large hedge is a very pretty two bedroom cottage with its own garden and parking area. Beyond the cottage, again across
the drive, is a further large paddock and woodland.

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
