“It was subsequently used as a hospital and then as the house for a fruit farm.

“The property was extended in 1975 to create a wonderful country home. The house is L-shaped and built with harled stone and cavity walls under a pitched slate roof.

“A range of outbuildings to the north make a ‘U’ shape and the courtyard effect is completed by a stone wall, wrought iron railings and gates.

“There is a large gravel courtyard with a sheltered terrace at the front of the house.

“Internally the property has undergone a substantial refurbishment under the current owners with an incredible attention to detail and an unsurpassed quality of craftsmanship.

“There is a drying green and a further stand of trees beyond to the east. Within the gardens there is also the secret ‘Hinterwoods”’garden with wrought iron fire pit and cauldron stand for outdoor entertaining.

“While the private gardens are indeed impressive, the views beyond over the surrounding farmland over the hills beyond are simply stunning.”
