Dating back to 1661, the original building was enlarged with an early Victorian addition in 1840 which was once the local post office. The property has been sympathetically updated whilst marrying modern styling to the existing character. The main part of the property has a generous and well fitted kitchen/diner, a boot room with WC and a lovely sitting room to the ground floor. In addition, there is an ample master bedroom with an ensuite shower room, two further generous double bedrooms and an elegant family bathroom on the first floor. The older and more characterful part which could work as an annex should one desire, consists of a study, utility room, garden room and a delightful snug with stairs off to the fourth double bedroom with cloakroom ensuite. Outside, the property is set in good grounds to the front side and rear which are pleasantly landscaped and feature ample parking as well a variety of useful outbuildings, some with commercial use, including a former pottery studio, detached barn and a timber chalet.
