The farmhouse appears to date back to the 1980s and is of reconstituted stone elevations under a pitched tiled roof and enjoys oil fired central heating and double glazing throughout. The accommodation extends to just under 2,500 ft2 and comprises two spacious reception rooms connected by a conservatory which takes full advantage of the rural outlook.
