One enters the property via a reception hall with stairs rising to the first floor and doors leading to the principal reception rooms. These include an impressive drawing room with a beautiful inglenook fireplace housing a log burner and a dual-aspect sitting/dining room. The kitchen/breakfast room caters well for a family having a great range of hand-crafted base and wall-mounted units beneath a granite worktop. Integrated appliances include an AGA, conventional oven, combination microwave oven, five-ring hob, fridge freezer and dishwasher. The kitchen/breakfast room leads through to a utility room.

Beyond the formal gardens are the adjoining paddocks, offering beautiful views over the surrounding countryside. A substantial oak-framed outbuilding comprises a four-bay frontage with an enclosed storage area.

    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

    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
