As part of our Signature collection is this four bedroom detached house with flexible accommodation occupying a plot of 2.5 acres with a range of outbuildings including garaging, stables, workshops and kennels.

The property benefits from double glazing and oil-fired heating, requires some modernisation but has excellent potential for a variety of uses subject to any necessary consents.

An open entrance porch provides access through the front door to a large entrance hall with turning staircase to the first floor. On one side of the hall is a room which has been used as a fourth bedroom. A further door from the hall leads on to the dining room and then through to the sitting room, an excellent size room with dual aspect and a fireplace with stove and patio doors to the rear that take you through to a conservatory leading out to the gardens.

At the rear of the house is a kitchen with part vaulted ceiling with a range of work surfaces with ample storage units and wall mounted cupboards.
