Once part of the local Penrose Estate, this character home has been partly modernised and updated but still offers scope for repair, refurbishment and remodelling. The ground floor consists of a generous reception hall, lounge, dining room and kitchen-breakfast room together with a shower room/WC. To the first floor there are three double bedrooms and a shower room/WC. Subject to planning there is scope for a fourth bedroom/study in an additional uninspected room. The house is warmed by oil-fired heating. Outside there is a range of former farm buildings comprising a 63ft long single storey milking parlour, three bay Dutch barn and a detached garage/workshop, all of which may have potential, subject to planning. The house has its own private garden and stands in a total plot of approximately 4.7 acres which includes the former farmyard and a 3.6 acre paddock within which is an Atlas Sorrento Super static home in need of repair, with electricity, disconnected water and drainage to the main septic tank.
