The property itself is set in the middle of stunning gardens that surround the property to all sides including large lawns to both the front and rear with a wonderful array of well stocked borders and a pleasant stone paved seating area that runs the width of the property to the rear where you can also enjoy far reaching views over the adjacent countryside. In addition to the main gardens a driveway sweeps down from the front boundary to a garage/workshop to the rear with light and power, plus an additional stone built garden store and a timber framed summerhouse. The main accommodation includes three bedrooms, a bathroom and a separate wc to the first floor, whilst to the ground floor an entrance porch opens to a large open plan living and entertaining room (28' x 16') with fireplaces at both ends, a study, a spacious breakfast room with an AGA, the main kitchen and a utility room with wc. Maintained to a good standard throughout the interior of the property is full of original features including oak beams and stone mullion windows throughout and whilst the property is approximately 400 years old the building itself has proven to be relatively low maintenance and we would therefore encourage all prospective buyers to seriously consider viewing this fabulous property.
