Historically, the building was converted into a country inn and in more recent years a sizeable village house. Renovation works have incorporated new wiring, new plumbing and oil-fired heating system. There is a new roof for the annexe and the garage. All works to date have been carried out in sympathy with the age of the building and internally there are tall ceilings, numerous exposed timbers and other period features. The welcoming entrance hall has solid herringbone wood floors, double height ceilings, exposed beams and stairs leading up to the first floor. There is also a downstairs cloak room. The eat-in bespoke kitchen is spacious and comes with an oil-fired AGA and an electric oven, double aspect views, exposed beams, wooden floors and a stable door giving access to the garden. Adjacent to the kitchen is a utility room complete with Belfast sink. The dining room which has high ceilings with exposed beams and an impressive working inglenook fireplace, is big enough to accommodate a large number of guests. Next door to the dining room is a cosy sitting room, with a wood burner, where the present owners like to relax, read and watch television.
