This charming farmhouse was individually designed and built in 1952 by hws Cook, a well-regarded local builder of that era. It boasts traditional architecture with attractive red brick facades under a pitched pantile roof, complemented by modern sealed unit UPVC windows and doors.

Over time, the property has been generously extended in two phases, now offering versatile living space spanning approximately 1,400 square feet. The layout of the accommodation is thoughtfully designed, flooded by plenty of natural light and with all of the principal rooms enjoying stunning views of the tranquil rural countryside to the west.
