While in need of some modernisation, the property offers a unique opportunity to either incorporate the attached two storey barn and outbuilding (STPP & consents) into the existing accommodation, creating a stunning family home; or use the outbuildings for a variety of other purposes, including a self-contained annexe.

The existing ground floor accommodation comprises a reception hall, spacious sitting room with feature fireplace and woodburning stove, kitchen/breakfast room with a range of base and wall units and oil fired Rayburn, two double bedrooms, utility room with shower and a cloakroom. From the kitchen/breakfast room, stairs lead to the first floor landing and principal bedroom, bathroom and two walk in wardrobes.

Outside

The property provides private parking in addition to the large double-height garage/workshop, with a stable door to the garden. A five-bar gate gives access to a central, part-cobbled courtyard garden featuring an area of level lawn, mature planting and a summer house. Attached to the main house on one side is a brick-built two storey barn and adjacent outbuilding, with original cobbled flooring and Belfast sink, the whole suitable for a variety of uses.
