Having been tenanted for a number of years, the property offers excellent scope to create a wonderful family home but would benefit from a little TLC. * With a wealth of original features such as sash windows, original fireplaces, staircase, doors, and flooring, the property benefits from a significant range of immediately adjacent outbuildings. * There are two spacious reception rooms leading off the main entrance hall in the typical Georgian style. Both rooms have fireplaces fitted with woodburning stoves. A beautiful staircase leads from the entrance hall to the first floor. * A spacious, open plan kitchen/breakfast room has an Aga in pride of place inset within an original inglenook fireplace. The kitchen is fitted with a range of modern cupboards with space for white goods. There are also the historic, built-in larder cupboards located either side of the Aga which (truncated)

There is ample storage and space for additional appliances and direct access to a rear courtyard with domestic outbuildings.

A shared bell mouth entrance leads to a gated private drive through to a “farm” courtyard, between the farmhouse and the range of outbuildings. A path leads to the everyday entrance door, with the front door opening to the formal garden. * There is an enclosed and modest rear garden with herbaceous borders, by the rear door, and an enclosed, paved scullery courtyard to the north elevation. * Within the scullery courtyard, there are a range of domestic outbuildings which would have historically been the wash house and bakery. Some wonderful remnants of the history remain in the form of the old copper (used for laundry), salting slab (for preserving meat), a bread oven and an old range. There is also an old pigsty. * Lawned and enclosed gardens lie to the front of the property where there are lovely views over adjacent pastureland and the surrounding rural landscape.
