Description
Believed to date back to the early 1600s, with later additions, this Grade II listed period farmhouse is set within private gardens with stabling and outbuildings, offering potential to develop subject to the usual consents. The property enjoys a wealth of period features but is now in need of refurbishment and would make an exciting restoration project.
The accommodation is full of character with most rooms having exposed beams and period features. The ground floor comprises a sitting room, dining room, snooker room, family room, snug & study alongside a kitchen/breakfast room and adjacent utility room. An enclosed walkway connects the main house to the indoor swimming pool and period barns. On the first floor the principal bedroom benefits from a range of built-in wardrobes and an en suite bathroom. There are four further bedrooms and a family bathroom.
A long tree lined driveway approach leads to the gated entrance opening into the courtyard driveway/ yard with ample parking and extensive outbuildings including period barns, garaging and eight stables. The gardens surround the property with large areas of lawn, interspersed with mature trees.
