The property is located down a surfaced lane in the Lower Town area of Halberton to the south of the village, off the road to Ash Thomas.

The existing house is a well-proportioned 4 bedroomed, 2-storey property, which although habitable, most interested parties will wish to modernise it and make it their own home.
