A charming and large five bedroom period house situated in an idyllic rural farming village position overlooking The Green and offered with adjoining grounds of 3 acres to include ancillary outbuildings (to include a barn for restoration and with planning for an office), leisure and equestrian facilities with first floor rural views to the rear.
