The Farmhouse offers wonderful accommodation with a number of good-sized reception rooms, including the recently built wing which comprises a large reception area with a spiral cellar, study and bedrooms above. All reception rooms on the ground floor have access via French doors to the York stone terrace outside and the formal gardens. The accommodation is arranged over two floors and provides a charming and practical combination of bedrooms and bathrooms and additional reception rooms, with three sets of stairs it provides a wonderful flow throughout the property. The brick and timber cottage, is a fine dwelling comprising a sitting room, kitchen and two bedrooms and shower room on the first floor.

There is a large gravelled area at the front of the house with a triple garage on the left (with a room above) and the main house on the right. There is beautiful manicured topiary with lavender at the front of the house. At the rear of the house, there are magnificent easterly views across the valley. The majority of the formal gardens are positioned at the back of the property with lawns running to the parkland fencing beyond. The swimming pool is located nearby and easily accessible from both the games room and the drawing room. A water feature runs through the middle of the formal gardens, fed by two ornamental ponds above. The formal gardens climb up a gentle slope, a brick path meanders through trellising up to the sunken hard tennis court with a viewing gallery. Steps lead up to the timber stable block above, the building comprises a workshop, tack room, four stables and tractor shed.

The ménage is further up the slope with separate access from the lane and has parking opposite for equine vehicles. The land beyond the formal gardens is beautifully undulated countryside, currently used for grazing land, arable land and the remainder is mixed deciduous woodland. The grazing land is situated close to the main house with field shelters and a water supply. Part of the land is let out to a farmer, there is a formal grazing license in place.
