Lower Farm Barn has been sympathetically converted and restored to create a fine family house retaining many period features. The house is set back from the road and sits in a central position within its grounds, surrounded by landscaped gardens with far reaching views over fields beyond. A newly built two storey stone building provides garaging and storage on the ground floor with a large games/party room above. This building has the potential to be converted into further ancillary accommodation, subject to the necessary planning consent.
