This beautifully presented and well maintained country residence is set within landscaped gardens approached by a bridge over the River Ter. The property c.17th Century, formerly the Black Horse Beer House, has flint and brick front elevations, gothic leaded windows and original Inglenook fireplace. The archway offers gated vehicular access to gravelled parking, the garage and the garden. Through the arch entrance there is access into the entrance hall of the property with glazed panels letting natural light flood in. This leads through to a separate large utility room/boot room, formerly the old bakehouse, which has a vaulted ceiling and space for appliances inset in the feature fireplace. The inner hallway, with a pretty cloakroom off, offers access to the main reception areas, divided by the original brick Inglenook fireplace with woodburning stove and features bespoke wood flooring and exposed beams. The country-style kitchen/breakfast room has a vaulted ceiling and range of blue painted units incorporating a butler sink, dresser style unit and inset Redfyre range cooker. From the hallway is access into the study/music room, formerly the barrel room. To the other side of the arched entrance is a separate 21ft. reception room with stairs leading up to a double bedroom and bathroom on the first floor – this could easily be divided off to create an Annex. To the first floor, accessed from the hallway, there is a principal bedroom with en-suite shower, a further bedroom with walk-in wardrobe cupboard and two further bedrooms, one which has been fitted out as a separate dressing room. The bathroom is beautifully styled with a freestanding bath and separate shower.

The landscaped gardens of approx. one-third of an acre are mostly laid to lawn with two sun terraces offering separate seating area with pergola over, flower and shrub borders with specimen trees and, to the far end is the spacious garden room. This impressive room could be used as a studio or home office with vaulted ceiling, feature beams and full-height windows and doors overlooking the open farmland with a decked terrace. The whole length of the garden overlooks open countryside and provides a tranquil setting.
