The detail in some of the woodwork is incredible and has to be seen to be truly appreciated. Approaching the property there are commanding gates that lead out to a large rear garden and there is also access here to an outbuilding which sits upon an acre of land. This has been until very recently been used as a lambing shed and the land available with the property is ideal for someone who wants a small holding where they can grow their own food and have some farm animals.

This is a room made for entertaining and its easy to imagine hosting summer parties from this room which spill out into the beautiful back garden to the rear of the house.
The kitchen/dining/living area is a fantastic space and is ideal for open plan family living. While the kitchen has been fitted for sometime, the wooden units are ideal for an upcycling project. This room has been beautifully done and has some amazing character detail. The kitchen comes with its very own aga and this is mainly responsible for heating the house. Access to the house bathroom is located on a small corridor off this room and a stunning oak staircase leads to the first floor.
Upstairs you have 4 double bedrooms. The master bedroom is a grand affair with extra large dimensions and this room could easily be split into two double bedrooms.

Also on this floor are 3 more double bedrooms, all of which are good sizes.
Outside there is a beautiful large garden which is surrounded by some stunning scenery. It is simply idylic up here and the garden has an air of tranquility which is not found in many places. It is a fantastic garden to entertain in and for children to play safely in as generations of the current owners family have. There is also the potential to extend. To the side of the house there are foundations of a former building that was attached to the house. Subject to the necessary planning consents, it may be possible to extend the property. To the side of the garden, there is another field which has until recently been home to a flock of sheep. There is an outbuilding here which has been used as a lambing shed. All in all this is a fantastic house with amazing outside space. Viewing is highly recommended.
