An internal inspection is strongly advised.

The property, which is currently run as a successful B&B, has been lovingly improved to a high standard with many retained period features. The entire north facing side of the house has been double glazed with custom made windows in the style of the original design. Both of the reception rooms have log burners giving a welcoming and cosy feel. In brief, the ground floor accommodation comprises entrance porch, kitchen breakfast room, utility room, drawing room, dining room, conservatory. On the first floor there are four double bedrooms, the master has an en suite, and a luxurious family bathroom with a central roll top bath and a large walk in shower.

Externally, double gates lead to a gravel driveway offering off road parking for several vehicles. The south facing gardens are well stocked with many specimen trees, ample flower beds including a central cutting bed, wild areas which attract numerous hedgehogs to the garden, and large lawns offering ample space for outside activities.
