To the rear, a charming U-shaped courtyard provides ample parking and is flanked by substantial stone outbuildings, suitable for conversion or alternative use (subject to the necessary planning consents). Mature trees offer natural shelter and privacy, while the expansive garden encircles the home, enhancing its tranquil appeal. Beyond the garden, gently rolling grazing land presents ideal paddocks for equestrian pursuits or other livestock, making this a versatile prospect for those seeking a lifestyle property with scope for development.Constructed from traditional stone underneath a slate roof, the property offers accommodation over two storeys.

The spacious reception hallway leads to two generous reception rooms, one of which features a versatile study area, ideal for home working. On the ground floor, a wet room and utility room add practicality, while upstairs, there are three well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom requiring replacement.
