Kitchen/breakfast room, drawing room, dining room, 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, sitting room, study. Outbuildings, stables. 91 acres, single bank fishing on the River Barle.
The property has evolved over the centuries with the older part of the house in the centre having original oak doors, architraves and beams. The formal south facing rooms at the front, particularly the drawing room and dining room, were added later with classical proportions and attractive bay windows. The house itself was carefully modernised about 7 years ago, including new roofing, new wiring and new plumbing to create a practical and modern house while retaining all the feel and charm of the farmhouse. Accommodation comprises kitchen/breakfast room, drawing room, dining room,drying room, laundry room, 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, sitting room, study. The house is surrounded by attractive lawned gardens designed to take advantage of the south and west facing position and the views of the River Barle and the Moor. There is useful garaging for two cars and a separate store room in the building nearest the house. The other three outbuildings have been reroofed and renovated to allow 5 stables and plentiful storage for logs etc. The property stands in the centre of its 91 acres which form two sides of the combe running east to west down to the River Barle; of this about 75 acres is farmed grassland whilst the rest is woodland or scrub for wildlife. The higher fields on either side are the most level and all the fields are grazed and most of the hedges have now been laid and re-fenced for sheep and cattle. All of the land is signed up and activated for the Single Farm Payment and also is under a separate ESA agreement. These along with rents received for grasskeep provide a useful income, details of which are available on request.
