The current accommodation comprises on the ground floor: reception/dining room, sitting room, study, kitchen, utility room and WC plus two further store rooms which could be a playroom/snug or similar with separate stairs leading to a further room above.

Gardens Surrounding the house on the west, south and east elevations is an attractive lawned garden with some mature orchard trees. Extending from the north east corner of the farmhouse is a small range of traditional buildings ideal for storage use except the Granary building which is missing the ground floor boards. Farm Buildings To the north of the farmhouse are the traditional dairy buildings which have planning consent for conversion to a four bed house; ancillary office; and a one bed holiday let. The large threshing barn in the north east corner was not included within the planning consent. The conditions of the Planning Consent have been met and it is therefore deemed to have been implemented. The conversions would be ideal either as separate dwellings or ancillary to the farmhouse.
