Along with an adjoining traditional courtyard with a home office, potential cottage and garages, it enjoys attractive gardens. While it is thought that a house has stood on the site for many centuries, the one which stands today was built around 1840 as rectory to the nearby church of St. John the Baptist. It enjoys light, attractive and well laid out accommodation embracing period detail and ideal for both comfortable family living and larger scale entertaining. It has a particularly striking double reception room with drawing room and dining room divided by panelled doors, with two fireplaces and four bay windows framing the views beyond.

Outside To the side of the house is the traditional enclosed courtyard with a range of outbuildings. This includes three garages and an entertaining kitchen. Above there are four versatile rooms, ideal for use as a home office, gym and residential purposes (subject to the necessary planning permission being obtained). The house stands in lawned gardens with stocked borders and paved terraces from where the beautiful views can be enjoyed. A stable block with its own separate access, all weather arena and grazing land extending to 3.90 acres (1.58 ha) is available by separate negotiation. From here there is access to the surrounding paddocks for all year round grazing. The house is approached off a quiet no through road off which leads the driveway to the house. A tarmac driveway leads to the courtyard and another to a gravel sweep to the front of the house.
