The main entrance door leading into reception hallway with a door and steps down to a cellar and stairs off to the first floor accommodation. There are two reception rooms, sitting room and dining room with access off to a kitchen. The kitchen is ready for a make over, but would be a good size and has potential to extend into the adjoining outbuilding to create a wonderful feature. A walk in pantry with original stone thrawl. On the first floor with a split landing, there are two great sized bedrooms replicating the two reception rooms with a further rear landing with bathroom and study. On the second floor, there is landing and two further bedrooms.

Exterior - Approached via a stone driveway creating ample parking. The property enjoys a commanding elevated position enclosed by a dry stone wall boundary. Immediately from the side porch is a detached stone outbuilding that would make a great outdoor implement store. The front garden is mainly laid to lawn which wraps around the side and leads into a spacious rear garden backing partially onto the village churchyard. There are two delightful stone cow sheds that have fantastic potential to develop into either ancillary accommodation or holiday lets subject to the relevant planning permissions.
To the right of the property a gate leads into a former yard with various large agricultural barns including a huge 22m x 13m hay and machinery barn. The buildings do need some attention, but are ideal for someone requiring storage.
