Converted from a traditional barn, the house combines weatherboarded elevations with exposed timber framing and beams, while a separate two bedroom annexe provides valuable additional accommodation for family or guests. The main house opens into a welcoming reception hall with full-height windows, exposed beams and brickwork, and an oak staircase rising to the galleried landing.

The ground floor also includes an en suite double bedroom, ideal for guests, together with a well-equipped kitchen featuring wooden wall and base units, integrated appliances and adjoining utility room.

Upstairs, three further bedrooms include the principal bedroom, which benefits from a south-facing aspect, fitted storage and en suite shower room. A separate dressing room with builtin wardrobes provides useful additional space, while the airy galleried landing creates an attractive connection between the bedrooms and overlooks the reception hall below. A family bathroom completes the first-floor accommodation. The two-storey annexe offers considerable flexibility, with a reception hall, sitting room, WC and shower room on the ground floor, and a study and two bedrooms above. The building also incorporates two garages providing secure parking and is accessed via the shared rear courtyard, making it particularly useful for guests, relatives or those requiring independent accommodation.
