Built in 1999 by the current owners, the house has a practical layout. The front door opens to the staircase hall. A ground floor bedroom with en-suite is set to one side and the principal reception room to the other. At near 25 feet, with exposed timbers, flagged floor and an inglenook fireplace with wood-burner, the sitting room is the heart of the house. Doors lead to the conservatory, and the kitchen. This has a range of pine cabinets and a solid fuel Rayburn range cooker. The study, a utility room and a cloakroom are beyond. The first floor provides a master bedroom with en-suite shower room, two further bedrooms and a family bathroom. There are wonderful views across the garden, valley and woodland from all the windows.

The drive continues to a fine outbuilding of weather-boarded elevations under a clay tiled roof and which incorporates two stables, a workshop and store with WC, and two storage lofts above. The gardens encircle the house and are extremely well stocked with meandering paths and terraces from which to enjoy the views; there is a beautiful flint summerhouse above the lily pond. Nearby is the kitchen garden. To the north of the house is an orchard with a wide variety of fruit trees, and beyond is an area of woodland. The paddocks are above the house, to the east, with two stables and extend to about 2.5 acres.
