On the first floor, a pleasant galleried landing leads to three bedrooms and a well appointed family bathroom and shower room. Both of these have been fitted with modern white suites and finished with attractive tiling. The two bedrooms to the front of the first floor are both spacious double bedrooms with cornicing, fireplaces and lovely sash windows which afford spectacular and far reaching views.

OUTSIDE:

The Farm House enjoys an exceptionally private and secluded position set within 0.36 acres of magnificent gardens and grounds. The property is approached via a discrete, unadopted track and is set behind a beautiful old brick and ragstone wall. A set of tall, wrought iron double gates open onto a large gravelled driveway, which provides parking for numerous vehicles and leads to a detached double garage. This has been sympathetically built with an attractive mellow brick, a concertina sliding door and a slate tiled roof, to ensure it is very much in keeping with The Farm House.

The gardens are mainly laid to lawn and have been planted with an extensive array of mature trees and shrubs, which contribute to the complete privacy and the sense of being within a mature, rural setting. A sandstone patio runs along the entire rear of The Farm House, opening up into a much larger patio area adjacent to the kitchen/breakfast room, ideal for outdoor entertaining.
