Description

Nestled in an idyllic semi-rural setting, this charming small holding is believed to date back to the 17th century and features around five acres of gardens, grazing land and established woodland.

The main residence presents flexible accommodation with up to three double bedrooms, a stylish bathroom, and a separate shower room. The heart of the home is the lounge with open fire, complemented by a fully fitted kitchen, a dining room, as well as a utility/boot room and a laundry room for everyday convenience. There are many pleasing features including traditional cast iron radiators, a modern boiler and window shutters. Two garages, ample parking, and a generous turning area add further practicality to this exceptional offering.

The grounds extend to approximately five acres, mostly incorporating rolling grazing land and a large woodland, but also providing gardens and even a freshwater well. Two separate paddocks provide excellent opportunities for equestrian or smallholding pursuits, with one paddock benefiting from direct vehicular access and its own parking area. The property is further enhanced by a range of outbuildings, including two stables, a tack room, and a substantial barn or storage area, catering perfectly to those with horses or a need for additional workspace.

The outdoor environment is designed for both relaxation and productivity, offering a tranquil setting with scope for gardening, animal keeping, or simply enjoying the natural surroundings. An internal viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the lifestyle and potential on offer within this unique dwelling.
