An exceptional detached five-bedroom period house with two acres of land, two stables, a tack room and an annex, set in a rural village.

The huge, versatile property is believed to be around 400 years old, with the accommodation comprising; reception hallway with log burner, sitting room, dining room, kitchen-breakfast room, bedroom five with en-suite shower room, garden room, cloakroom, utility room, two inner hallways and a back porch on the ground floor. Upstairs are another reception room, four bedrooms and the main bathroom.

A beamed mantel over an open fireplace are features of the sitting room, which also has a stripped wooden floor.

The dining room has flagstone flooring, while the L-shaped kitchen-breakfast room has a Belfast sink, pine floor and wall units, an Aga, built-in oven, microwave and fridge, ceiling beams and a larder.

Stairs lead to the first-floor reception room which could be another bedroom, playroom, or work room and has a sink and floor units, as well as providing lovely countryside views.
