The Woottons offers a fantastic opportunity to purchase a wonderful stone farmhouse which is being marketed for the first time in generations and is a wonderful opportunity to create a fine home in a lovely rural setting.  

The house is initially approached over a shared driveway over which the Woottons has a right of vehicular and pedestrian access.  The driveway then becomes private to the house and leads past a lawned area and around a corner opening to a generous parking area with space for several vehicles.  From the driveway a wrought iron pedestrian gate leads to the foregarden behind which the property is positioned.  There is an original Cider Stone with plants and a wonderful lawn flanked by planted herbaceous beds displaying colour and vibrance throughout the year.   From here access is gained to the wooden and obscure glazed front door that is set under a storm porch with pitched tiled roof and seating to side.     From the foregarden access can also be gained to the main garden (described later) and positioned to the left of the house.  This wonderful example of a stone farmhouse  is set under a pitched tiled roof with large window openings which are double glazed and flood the house with natural light.    Heating is provided by way of a solid fuel burning Farm2000 system which is available by separate negotiation although if the prospective buyers want to put in a new central heating system the current owner will remove the boiler and take it with them.  

The spacious and versatile accommodation is set over two floors and creates a fantastic opportunity to make the property a wonderful family home.   The wooden front door opens to a accommodation which is nearly 3,000 sq.ft and comprises in more detail of:
