The property boasts reverse-level accommodation, offering over 3,700 sq. ft. of living space. The expansive ground floor layout incorporates 5 bedrooms, 5 bath/shower rooms, a dramatic dining hall, and a utility room. One wing of the property features a separate entrance and additional staircase, making it ideal for creating an annexe or separate living space.
With multiple access points, the property offers two main staircases leading to the first floor. The grand approach is through the impressive dining hall, a double-height room with exposed beams and a fireplace. This space also features a wonderful gallery, with double doors leading into the kitchen.

From the front of the property, steps lead up to the first-floor entrance, opening into an inner stairwell. To the left, you'll find a generous, triple-aspect living room, creating a bright and welcoming space. This room features a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams, a feature fireplace, and beautiful views over the garden and river.
The unique kitchen/breakfast room has a dual aspect and provides access to a south-facing balcony, with steps leading down to the garden. The kitchen is fitted with an array of units and a central island. Adjacent to the kitchen, you'll find a guest cloakroom, a larder store, and double doors that open into the dining hall.
The wing of the first floor, currently used as a home office, has steps that lead down to the guest bedrooms.

OUTBUILDINGS
Off the drive and parking area is a substantial outbuilding, which includes a double garage, a shower room, an extensive workshop with first-floor storage, and an attached garden kitchen. Another characterful outbuilding is the original coach house which has storage space below and office space on the first floor.

GROUNDS
The drive, bordered by lawns and shrubs, provides ample parking beside the garage/workshop. You can drive right to the front door, and on to the coach house and entrance to the south wing. To the left, you'll find a delightful walled kitchen garden featuring raised beds, two greenhouses, and a tool shed. A former icehouse borders an old carriageway, which leads on to the now grassed bridge over the flowing River Erme, extending to a small triangle of land.
To the rear of the property, a charming courtyard garden features a central pond, with surrounding lawn, a raised deck with a hot tub, and a seating area beneath wisteria. Beyond this, there is a delightful walled orchard with apple, pear, and plum trees. The grounds extend mainly to lawn, with areas of wildflowers, herbaceous borders, ornamental trees, and shrubs. This tranquil oasis borders the river, with access via steps leading to a wonderful timber platform, perfect for resting and enjoying the serene setting of the River Erme.
