The master bedroom and principle guest bedroom are both double aspect rooms, with bedroom three and four offering views to the front aspect. All of the bedrooms enjoy elevated views across different aspects of the grounds and gardens

NB. We understand the property has never been extended since being built and should therefore still benefit from its full 30% entitlement for extension (STPP). Please note, buyers are advised to make their own checks before confirming this.

Grounds and Gardens

The property is accessed from the road via a gated entrance opening onto a sweeping driveway leading to the property and parking area.

Set to the side of the property are a number of outbuildings in need of repair. The main outbuilding is currently configured as two stables, a tack room and an adjoining tack room but offers options for various uses including that of a home office (STPP).

There are further dilapidated outbuildings scattered across the grounds offering potential for improvement.

The substantial grounds are a significant feature of the property, surrounding the house to all four sides, with the majority extending away to the rear. The grounds are split into large areas of level paddock bounded by fence and hedgerow borders and extend in total to approximately 10 acres.

The property is ideal for an equestrian enthusiast with the property benefiting from direct forest access as well as forest rights.
