The spacious kitchen/dining room has lovely views over the gardens and land beyond, with a range of base and wall units, a stainless steel sink and drainer, a range, and a separate electric oven, there is also a built-in cupboard, and doors accessing the rear porch and a ramp to the back utility area / possible second kitchen.

The Old Dairy Cottage - This lovely barn conversion has been sympathetically renovated to retain the charm and character of the original barn featuring two double bedrooms and is a charming and unique residential space that combines rustic elements with modern comforts.

The interior design showcases a vaulted ceiling in the open-plan kitchen/lounge, adding a sense of openness and spaciousness to the living areas, the inclusion of a log burner adds a cozy and warm atmosphere, creating a focal point in the living space. This feature not only provides practical heating but also contributes to the overall aesthetic appeal of the interior. this room is accessed from the front porch which has a stable door characteristic of traditional barns, adding a touch of authenticity to the design while also providing a connection to the property's agricultural heritage. the porch also accesses the utility room, offering practical space for laundry and household tasks.

The shower room is equipped with essential amenities, including a toilet, sink, and shower, located next to the 2 double bedrooms off the inner hallway which also has a ladder and loft access. The rear door then accesses the rear porch which enhances the functionality of the space, serving as a transitional area between the indoors and the outdoors, that leads you onto the sunroom.

The large gardens surrounding the rear of the barn conversion contribute to the overall appeal, offering outdoor space for relaxation, gardening, or entertaining. The sunroom is a delightful feature, likely bathed in natural light and providing a comfortable space to enjoy the views of the garden and surrounding landscape.

Overall, this barn conversion blends the historic charm of a traditional structure with the functionality and comfort of a modern home. The combination of double bedrooms, vaulted ceilings, a well-equipped shower room, a log burner, rear porch, utility room, stable doors, and a sunroom makes it a distinctive and inviting living space. The large gardens further enhance the property, providing a serene outdoor environment to complement the unique character of the converted barn.

Externally: - This property was originally used as a working farm, there are two large agricultural barns and the majority of the land is to the right of the driveway, with an additional paddock to the right and a sloping field with a stream running along the bottom of the sloping field boundary

The property benefits from gardens to either side of the farmhouse which then flow down to The Old Dairy with a range of mature shrubs and lawn areas, the traditional stone range is split into four rooms with stable doors on each the far end also has external steps leading to what could be adapted to a mezzanine, this range could also be adapted for a variety of uses (subject to planning and the necessary consents).

The 16 acres of land is located along the left of the driveway and extends up over the hill and to the rear and side of the farmhouse, this land is mainly fenced. while the fields next to the driveway are mainly flat the land on the hill is more sloping and the land to the side/rear is more elevated, the paddock to the right of the driveway is partially fenced and the additional sloping field gives the additional 4 acres to make 20 in total.

While the property is in need of some modernisation this historic home is located in a picturesque setting which really needs to be viewed to truly appreciate.
