This distinguished period farmhouse presents generous and versatile accommodation suited to both family life and hosting on a larger scale. The tone is set on arrival with an immediate sense of heritage, where exposed wooden beams and areas of brickwork provide authentic character throughout, balanced by thoughtfully updated spaces that support modern living.

The farmhouse offers multiple reception rooms, creating flexibility for formal dining, relaxed evenings and quieter reading or working areas. At the heart of the home is a substantial 30 foot family room which lends itself to entertaining friends, family and guests, featuring a large woodburning fireplace as a natural focal point.

An additional kitchen in this area further supports social occasions and extended gatherings, offering a practical arrangement for hosting while keeping the main living spaces flowing comfortably.
Moving through to the centre of this farmhouse a generous living room allows space for sizeable furniture all focused onto the eye catching wood burner fireplace allowing warmth to flow through the home. Off to the side a small corridor leads through to a further reception room that is currently used as a home office with patio doors that lead out and onto the rear garden.

The main kitchen/dining room has been modernised, providing a more contemporary finish while remaining in keeping with the period feel of the house. Separate utility room with pantry. The dining area offers space for a large family table and chairs and further patio doors lead from here out onto the rear garden. The overall layout is designed to work for day to day living as well as larger events, with the reception spaces and family room forming an ideal blend of atmosphere and function.

Upstairs, the accommodation continues at scale with four double bedrooms and two bathrooms, offering excellent capacity for family, guests and visiting friends. The bedroom arrangement supports a variety of requirements, from private principal accommodation to dedicated guest suites and additional rooms that could be used to suit individual needs. Downstairs a further reception room alongside the sitting room can be utilised as the current vendors do to be a fifth bedroom.

Beyond the main farmhouse, the property benefits from three highly successful holiday cottages, providing established income and flexibility for multigenerational living or guest accommodation. The setting extends to approximately 10.5 acres, giving the home a sense of privacy and space.

For those with equestrian interests, the grounds include multiple stabling, a sand school with a full underground drainage system topped with fibre and sand, allowing for excellent drainage and full use throughout the year. Additional automatic water feeders are located throughout the land, serving the needs of a range of animals. A variety of further outbuildings can be found across the site that offer excellent storage for ground keeping equipment along with possible potential to explore. A separate outbuilding is used as a dedicated laundry room / storage room for the holiday cottages allowing for all utilities and items for the holiday cottages to be kept away from the main home.

This property is perfect for anyone looking to explore a lifestyle change thanks to an excellent income potential through the holiday cottages or further income potential with equestrian business opportunities to explore.

NB. The property currently has a non-compliant septic tank that is due to be changed by the current owners to a new compliant treatment plant.
