A Traditional Stone Built Farmhouse With Outbuildings & Land  

 

Situated in a rural location on the outskirts of the village, this detached farmhouse is well presented and is believed to be several hundred years old. The property is in an elevated position with view over the surrounding countryside and benefits from having easy access on to the ‘Mary Townley’ loop (a renowned riding trail). The spacious family accommodation comprises four bedrooms, family bathroom and on the ground floor is an entrance porch, entrance hall, cloakroom, sitting room with fireplace and incorporates a study area and there is a delightful well equipped kitchen breakfast room with oil fired AGA. Outside the property is approached off this quiet country lane via its own private driveway which leads to a parking and turning space with access to the outbuildings. There are mature gardens to three sides, mainly laid to lawn and part enclosed by stone walling with the stock fenced paddocks gently sloping beyond. The range of traditional outbuildings comprise stone barns, attached garage with utility room, stable block with 2 stables and a shippon.
