Description
An outstanding stone under slate Grade II listed former farmhouse, dating from the 17th century together with a separate barn conversion providing useful ancillary accommodation. The property is situated on the village green. It has undergone a full programme of renovation sympathetic to its period of origin yet it still provides the necessities of a modern family home. There are four spacious reception rooms. The hand-crafted oak kitchen has a vaulted ceiling and superb views over the landscaped gardens. Upstairs there are four bedrooms (one with en-suite) and a family bathroom. The property also has 'The Barn', a stone and brick converted barn located just across the courtyard, which provides further three-bedroomed accommodation for a family member or guest or could possibly provide additional income. The quality of the improvements made by the current owners is apparent in every room, from the handcrafted fully-fitted office/study to the replaced sandstone tiles in the hallway and the fully-tanked cellar, to name but a few. In addition to the ample parking in the courtyard there are two double garages with electric doors, workshop, garden shed and wood shed. The south-facing landscaped garden is a wonderful setting with year-round colour and a delightful water feature.
