A striking three-storey period ironstone former farmhouse, with limestone quoins and swithland slate roof, which retains the proportions and large windows of the Georgian and Victorian eras.

The grade II listed property occupies an attractive setting on the southern edge of this Conservation Village, with gardens that extend to the west. Whilst the listing states the L-shaped property is early 19th Century, the building is thought to have earlier, 18th century origins, and is dated 1791.

Accommodation: The central front door opens into a wide entrance hallway, which links right through the core of the house to the rear entrance. The hallway is flanked by the formal drawing and dining rooms, both symmetrical high ceilinged rooms with large south facing windows. The drawing room also has a north facing window, whilst the dining room an internal doorway to the kitchen.

The kitchen/breakfast room has a fitted suite and ample room for informal dining. It has a large rear facing window to a courtyard, and access back to the hallway, as well as to a second living room and a boot room, with an external side entrance. Returning to the hallway, a home office/study, utility and cloakroom/W.C complete the ground floor accommodation.

There are six double bedrooms served by three bath or shower rooms at first and second floor. The bedroom layout was reconfiguration in 2013, when the house was also electrically rewired. The result is a first floor layout with four generously proportioned double bedrooms, one of which is en suite, and a family bathroom, whilst, at second floor level, there are two further double bedrooms and a second family bathroom. The principal bedrooms are south facing and offer fabulous far reaching views.

Outside:
The property has a driveway to the south of the house, leading to the garden, which lies to the west of the house. The gardens are laid to lawn, with mature planting, with partially walled boundaries and views to the south over the adjoining field. There are various useful outbuildings including a garage.
