The original property was once the Hare and Hounds public house and faces south over the village green. There is a wealth of period detail which has been retained and enhanced including stripped timber work, dressed stone fireplaces, stone flag flooring, window seats and beamed ceilings. The spacious reception rooms and three of the five bedrooms have south facing views over the green. There are two additional versatile reception rooms with views over the rear garden with the kitchen being in the new part of the property along with the master bedroom suite and dining room. Externally there is a well maintained and substantial garden to the rear with a detached stone built building currently a large garage, lean-to workshop and first floor home office.
