A charming five bedroom farmhouse with equestrian facilities, a granny annex and outbuildings on approximately 7.70 acres of land.

This charming house offers approximately 340 sq metres of accommodation over two floors comprising five bedrooms (two bedrooms with en suites) and a family bathroom, three living/dining rooms, utility, study and a large open plan kitchen diner with plenty of storage space. The farmhouse is surrounded by landscaped gardens with a large paved patio to the rear of the property and a heated swimming pool.

Furthermore, there is a useful storage barn, a large agricultural steel portal frame building, a small pond and wood.

Anti Money Laundering

Estate Agents are legally required to conduct Anti-Money Laundering (AML) checks on all parties involved in the sale or purchase of a property. W&W use a specialist service called "Verify 365" to perform these checks. This is a service offered to Estate Agents who are members of the Guild of Property Professionals. These checks must be completed before a property is listed for sale and as soon as an offer is accepted (before we send out the Memorandum of Sale). There is a non-refundable fee of £25 (plus VAT) per person. Note: W&W receive a portion of this fee to cover our administration costs in processing these legal checks.
