This property offers so much and sits well in its own land with uninterrupted views over the countryside with not another house in sight, but is still only 5 minutes from the local village where there are shops, restaurants, doctors and school. The main house, aproached down a tree lined driveway, has been well restored and has the ability to be extended by the development of the adjacent barn. The second house has been recently reroofed but needs internal restoration and there is a most attractive pigeonnier next to the main house that could be renovated if desired.

The separate guest house is in sound structural condition but does need totally modernising.
