The Grade II Listed farmhouse, with its spacious and well-designed layout, features traditional period details and a versatile living space.

The Threshing Barn, part converted with planning consent for holiday use, offers further potential for conversion into another substantial holiday letting unit or could be split into two smaller units, subject to necessary permissions.
