A gated entrance opens onto a large driveway. A circular raised area lies between the house and stables, providing a roundabout in the driveway as well as a basis for a garden feature.
The current layout comprises three large reception rooms, a spacious kitchen diner and a downstairs bathroom. The reception rooms all have fireplaces, and the central room has a large Inglenook fireplace with a log burner which was installed in 2021. Two separate staircases lead upstairs to four good sized bedrooms. The three larger rooms are south facing with garden views, and the final room looks out over the stables and courtyard. Above is an extensive attic with standing room throughout. Impressive original beams are visible throughout the property, giving a lovely farmhouse feel. It would be possible, subject to planning, to rearrange the layout of the house.
The stable yard is made up of 10 large stables and a tack room. It sits directly opposite the kitchen so provides a lovely outlook from the kitchen windows, with a spacious courtyard between them. An area of land lies behind the stables, and to the west are two paddocks, including two areas of hardstanding. In total the plot amounts to around 2.35 acres. The house and stables were completely rewired in 2020/21
