The main house comprises a most attractive stone built farmhouse, believed to have been constructed in circa 1850 and originally forming part of the Hardwick Estate. This imposing building has a natural slate roof, with three ornate brick built chimney stacks. The property was modernised and extended in the late 1990’s to form an outstanding residence. Ground Floor From the patio, you enter a useful Entrance Hall with coats cupboard. There is a door leading into the ground floor Cloakroom comprising a white WC and wash hand basin. A glazed timber door leads into the Farmhouse Kitchen which comprises hand built solid oak base, drawer and walls units. The single drainer Belfast sink sits in front of windows looking out onto the front lawn. The kitchen includes integrated fridge and freezer, dishwasher and built-in washing machine. An electric Rangemaster cooker sits beneath a brick chimney breast. The kitchen has an opening into a delightful Breakfast Room which has a stone fireplace and wood burning stove. There is a floor hatch giving access to a useful brick vaulted Cellar. Glazed doors then lead into a fantastic Garden Room with exposed oak ceiling beams and ‘Velux’ style roof lights. Three sides of the garden room are glazed, making this a most light and airy room. There are views of the delightful gardens and French doors leading out onto the patio. Walking back through the property, there is a door from the kitchen which leads into a superb Sitting Room with large stone Inglenook fireplace containing wood burning stove. As with the majority of ground floor rooms, there are exposed timber beams to the ceiling. Many rooms contain solid oak doors. A door then leads into the Rear Hall which comprises the oak spindled staircase, under stairs storage and another built-in storage cupboard. The hall has doors lead out onto the rear patio, and has space for seating or could form a small study area. A further door gives access into the formal Dining Room which has a stone fire surround.

First Floor On climbing the staircase, you reach the Landing which is a great place to stop and enjoy the views over the garden. There is a four piece family Bathroom comprising tiled bath, low flush WC, wash hand basin within a fitted vanity unit and a shower cubicle with mixer shower. The first Guest Bedroom has fitted wardrobes and two windows overlooking the front lawn. There is a central Family Guest Bedroom which can sleep up to four people, and again comprises two windows overlooking the front garden. A door from the landing leads into the master suite, which includes a superb Master Bedroom with an array of fitted wardrobes and dressing table. This room has windows on three sides giving a fantastic triple aspect.

Outside Timber gates give access to an enclosed courtyard drive, bordered by stone walls and a range of stone and brick outbuildings. These include a superb ‘side by side’ Double Garage with storage loft above. There is a second detached building forming Two Wood Stores and a Garden Store which houses the central heating boiler. The third building comprises a most characterful addition, over two storeys. The ground floor Workshop and Garden Store are accessed from the drive. The converted first floor is accessed from the higher garden level and comprises an entrance hall, Cloakroom with WC and basin, and a dual aspect Office with dormer windows overlooking the courtyard and garden. Whilst there are no plans, it is our opinion that the wood stores and office building could be adapted and altered to form substantial ancillary accommodation if needed. When exiting the office, you are faced with a superb patio which spans the full width of the main house. This patio overlooks over an acre of the most delightful landscaped gardens that have been meticulously planted and maintained by the present owners. Fantastic lawns are interspersed with the most superb floral and herbaceous beds and borders, as well as mature specimen trees and seating areas with views of open countryside and Hardwick Hall which sits prominently on the horizon. There is a second gravel drive to the north of the house providing further vehicular parking. A most picturesque lawn can be found to the front, bordered by herbaceous plants and stone walls. A delightful wildlife pond can be found towards the north east corner which is stocked with Koi carp and bordered by another pleasant seating area. The formal gardens really are SPECTACULAR, and a credit to the years of hard work undertaken by the present owners. Towards the north west corner, a timber gate gives access to the 2.17 acre paddock which is fully enclosed.
