A generous entrance hall provides a welcoming introduction leading through to a series of well proportioned reception rooms.

The first floor offers three double bedrooms, two of which benefit from en suite facilities, together with a family bathroom.
The second floor is equally impressive, providing two further double bedrooms, both with en suite bathrooms, ideal for guests.
The grounds extend to approximately 0.5 acres, offering privacy and excellent countryside views.
