The main house requires modernisation, presenting a fantastic blank canvas for those looking to create their dream country home. It enjoys a generous garden, once a thriving orchard, with mature trees and a detached garage located at the far end.

From here, a door leads into the central hallway, offering access to the main living areas. The kitchen/dining room is a generous and well-laid-out space, featuring dual-aspect windows that flood the room with natural light. With plenty of worktop space and room for a family dining table, it’s perfectly suited for everyday living and entertaining.
To the right of the hall, the reception room is a spacious and comfortable setting with three front-facing windows, creating a light and airy atmosphere. Also accessed from the hallway is a useful utility room and a separate cloakroom/WC, providing essential functionality.
Upstairs, a central landing connects to three bedrooms and the family bathroom. The principal bedroom is a well-proportioned double with fitted storage and a pleasant dual aspect. Bedroom 2, also a comfortable double, enjoys views over the garden, while Bedroom 3 offers a flexible single room. A neatly fitted bathroom with a shower-over-bath completes the accommodation.
