The property comprises a most attractive Grade II listed country house which is beautifully presented throughout and offers a perfect blend of character features and modern day convenience. It is believed to date back to the 16th century with later additions in the 17th and 19th century. The timber framed property is clad with red and blue brick on the ground floor and has attractive tile hung upper elevations and a catslide roof to the rear.

To the rear of the house, the modern kitchen has a range of fitted cupboards and base units with integrated appliances, space for washing machine and a brick tiled floor. To one end of the kitchen there is a breakfast room with views over the garden. The characterful rear hall gives access to a useful boot room and cloakroom as well as a door to the rear.
On the first floor, the four characterful bedrooms have windows overlooking the front and can be accessed independently via separate staircases. There are two modern bath/shower rooms and one of the principal bedrooms benefits from an en suite shower room.
In addition to the main house there is a detached annexe which provides a modern living area with roof lanterns and windows running the full length of one wall enjoying lovely views over the gardens. There is also a double aspect kitchen/studio room with an en suite shower room and a mezzanine area above.
Outside, the house is approached over a driveway providing off-road parking and leading to the house and annexe. The delightful and beautifully maintained gardens surrounding the house are laid to lawn with mature trees, shrubs and plants as well as numerous paved terraces and a kitchen garden.
