This rarely available property offers significant scope for improvement and enhancement, allowing prospective buyers to create a substantial and distinctive family home tailored to their own requirements. The farmhouse itself provides generous and versatile accommodation, with a wealth of character features including bay windows, exposed wood flooring and beams, and log burners.

Internally, the property comprises a welcoming entrance hall leading to a selection of bright, spacious and versatile reception rooms, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units, ample storage cupboards, and an AGA, and is complemented by a separate utility room offering additional storage, a sink, and space for appliances including a washing machine, dishwasher, and fridge freezer.
