What the owners say

My mother and father resided at the property for over 40 years and loved nothing more than wondering through the adjoining countryside on long dog walks, observing the diverse range of wildlife, whilst the spacious adjoining self contained annexe has been a huge bonus and I am sure will appeal to multi generational families. Unfortunately, my parents are both now no longer with us, so with a heavy heart we are going to have to part company with our beautiful family home and allow the next family to enjoy all it has to offer.

The versatile accommodation on offer is as sprawling as it is impressive with the ground floor boasting four five reception rooms, and a generous kitchen breakfast room that benefits from splendid views over the secluded rear grounds, whilst the self contained annexe enjoys a further kitchen, sitting room, shower room and double bedroom.

On the first floor the principal bedroom enjoys it on en suite facility with the remaining two double bedrooms serviced by a two spacious family bathrooms.
