The main house enjoys a spacious well planned layout laid out over two floors with the principal living rooms all enjoying fine views. To the ground floor are three bedrooms, one currently used as a formal dining room, the house bathroom and a recently installed en-suite shower room. The family kitchen is well fitted and equipped being the heart of the home, and laundry room and cloaks completes the ground floor. On the first floor you will find a simply delightful drawing room, study/snug and the master bedroom with its en-suite bathroom. The property has been finished to a high specification and standard with many attractive features. Outside are landscaped gardens, extensive garaging and a most attractive self contained stone and slate guest cottage, ideal for dependent relatives, those visiting or even as a holiday let for those seeking an income.
