The house has been fully refurbished by the current owner over the last 15 years, creating afantastic family home with many period features retained and rediscovered - other major works include the conversion of the former detached outbuilding into a separate one bedroom annexe cottage, and the landscaping and opening up of the garden, with the replanting of a large number of native trees, and fabulous stoneterrace and pathways created.

The property dates from c. 1720 and has many architectural and historic features, constructed in stone with a slate and stone roof, with 12 pane sash windows and evidence of earlier squared masonry that could date from medieval times.
