Once the farmhouse of the village, with origins dating back to early 1677, it has been the subject of a detailed restoration and development in a more traditionalist, contemporary style combining with the classical Cotswold features of stone and symmetry which without doubt, have resulted in a home of the highest quality.

This moves from the head of the house to the tail, connecting each reception room with the sitting and drawing room set to the front of the house and the formal dining room and kitchen to the rear. There are two kitchens, which have been creatively designed to comprise one large area with fitted units for cooking and preparing food, and a spectacular kitchen arranged for the indulgence of entertaining. Both areas are finished to the highest quality with a range of units and the main kitchen opening to the outside terrace. Also, within this wing is a boot room, large laundry room and a study.

On the first and second floors there are five double bedrooms, in addition to an impressive, independent bedroom and en suite above the kitchen, which has two points of access, one externally and one from a staircase to the side of the kitchen, making it self-contained. Within the main house, and for more traditional accommodation, the master bedroom has an en suite shower room, whilst the two double bedrooms on first floor share a luxury bathroom complete with a freestanding bath and an open shower. The two further bedrooms are on the second floor with a large central landing dividing them. Annex and Ancillary Accommodation The various outbuildings are arranged around a courtyard to the south of the house. Designed to reflect the main house, a two-storey stone building is arranged as an extension to the principal reception rooms, to include a large working bar with a magnificent home office over.

The two acres are positioned adjacent to the stables enhancing the equestrian potential. The house enjoys a large, terrace leading from the kitchen through to the outbuildings, ideal for outside entertaining.

To the north, slightly set back from the courtyard, is a large American Barn with uninterrupted views across the front farmland which has its own further two acres.
