This substantial farmhouse sits towards the end of the village, and enjoys views over its garden and neighbouring fields. It is built of local stone and probably dates from the late 1700’s. The property is NOT a Listed building, giving a degree of flexibility in how the house may be updated and improved for today’s way of living.

The house offers versatile accommodation, amounting to 4,426 sq ft, set over three floors, with spacious, light rooms, with large windows, and plenty of character. Many of the original features, such as tiled floors, stone steps and shuttered windows, are in situ. Oil-fired central heating is installed.

The property has been tenanted for several generations and is perfectly habitable, offering four reception rooms and six bedrooms, along with two further attic bedrooms.

Planning Permission has been granted to alter the layout and to extend the house, creating a superb family home, with a large live-in kitchen, four reception rooms and five bedrooms with three bathrooms. The attic shows a further double bedroom and bathroom. Copies of the plans and planning permission are available, electronically, from the agent.

The house sits behind a front garden with a handsome gateway opening to the drive, which provides parking. There is additional vehicle access down the drive to the back door, where there is additional parking. The rear garden faces south-west. It has a terrace spanning the back of the house, accessible via a number of doors. The garden is lawned, with mature shrubs and trees giving shade and privacy. The garden runs to the paddock, which slopes gently away from the village. There is vehicle access to the paddock via the lane in front of the house.

Planning Permission
