Oaks and horse chestnuts mark the property’s entrance. A gravel court extends in front of the house. The edifice is built in a symmetrical design with a central section flanked with two extensions. Its elevations are made of rubble stone, coated with pale rendering. The stonework of the extensions has been left exposed. A hipped gable roof crowns the main section. Two chimney stacks – one at each end – rise up from the roof. The facade is punctuated with five bays along a ground floor and first floor. The central bay rises up to a triangular pediment with a bull’s-eye window in the middle of it. A cart shelter and a guesthouse adjoin the main section on either side of it. In one corner of the property, there are two small outbuildings with slate roofs. The garden is dotted with shrubs and trees. It extends behind the house and on one side of it. At the bottom of the garden, there is a bakehouse.

The house

The ground floor
In the middle of the facade, a double door marks the house’s entrance. This double door stands beneath a fanlight. It leads into a hallway where a stone staircase takes you upstairs. The gleaming smoothness of the stairs bears witness to their old age. At the back, there is a lavatory and storage spaces. On one side of the hallway, there is a large kitchen. On the other side, there is a lounge. Both are dual-aspect rooms. Wood strip flooring extends across the lounge, the walls of which are adorned with dado panelling. This lounge also features a wooden fireplace, painted in the same tone as the walls and panelling. The hallway floor is tiled with old square paving stones. The ashlar and rubble stone of the hallway walls have been left exposed. Wood strip flooring extends across part of the kitchen, the rest of which has a tiled floor. The exposed beams and joists that run across the kitchen ceiling are painted in the same hue as the walls. The kitchen features an imposing ashlar fireplace, which houses a wood-burning stove. A glazed double door leads from the kitchen out into the garden.

The first floor
The first-floor plan mirrors the ground-floor plan: there is a room on either side. These two bedrooms share a bathroom, which has a lavatory. The staircase leads from the ground floor up to a landing with a floor of old terracotta tiles. Here a door hides a timber staircase that takes you up to the loft. Wood strip flooring extends across the two bedrooms. The ceiling beams have been coffered. A stove has been installed in one of the old fireplaces. The other fireplace, made of stone with mouldings, protrudes from the wall in a warm tone.

The second floor
Up on the second floor, in the roof space, the bull’s-eye window in the facade’s triangular pediment bathes the landing in natural light. Wood strip flooring extends across the rooms. Remarkable timber trusses have been left exposed in all the rooms, beneath a cathedral ceiling. There are two bedrooms filled with natural light from roof windows. And there is a shower room with a lavatory.

The guesthouse
A guesthouse adjoins one side of the main dwelling. You enter the guesthouse from the garden via a glazed door. You step straight into a lounge, where a quarter-turn timber staircase leads upstairs. There is also a kitchen on the ground floor, as well as a shower room with a lavatory. The first floor is taken up by a spacious room with a cathedral ceiling. Roof windows fill this vast room with natural light.

The cart shelter
An old cart shelter adjoins the other side of the main house. Its garden side is closed with a door. It houses a closed garage with a straight staircase that leads up to a loft.
