The house is an ancient grade II listed farmhouse of a traditional build under a thatched roof. The original house has a considerable number of period features such as a circular stair turret with a Tudor arched doorway, heavily beamed sitting and dining rooms, inglenook fireplaces and beautifully worn flagstones to the cross passage.

In more recent years the property has been sympathetically restored and extended and worthy of particular note is the striking, contemporary extension of the kitchen which brings 21st century style to the house. The kitchen, sun room, dining room and family shower room all benefit from underfloor heating.
On the first floor, there's a principal bedroom with an en-suite, three further bedrooms and a family shower room.
The dining room has an elaborate beamed ceiling - Credit: Humberts
The property comes with a superbly presented two-bedroom holiday cottage, providing a very useful source of income. It would work equally well as an annexe for the extended family.
Outside, there's a beautiful cobbled courtyard surrounded by single storey outbuildings that house an office, several stores, a large games room/party barn and a workshop.
