The original farmhouse now consists of 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, a large eat-in kitchen with a wood fired oven, and a sitting room with an open fire place. The original barn has been converted into 4 guest bedrooms on the ground floor, all opening on to the front garden.

The first floor, measuring 1200 sq ft(109 sq metres) is currently the farm stay restaurant, but with large windows and an old stone fireplace this area is ideal as a family /entertainment area. Glass doors lead onto the covered terrace with wonderful views of the surrounding valleys, ideal for outdoor summer dining.


A fully equipped professional kitchen on the first floor facilitates catering for all house guests.

In the garden beside the main house is the pool area, with a covered portico and a pool house containing a large family bedroom w/ensuite and two single rooms with ensuites (suitable for staff accommodation if required ) Surrounding the 33 ft (10 mt) pool is a paved area for sunbathing, and lawns with flower beds. The covered portico is great for poolside dining and country style lamps around the garden provide soft lighting for a night time dip in the pool.

Opposite the main building is an annex, recently built of old stone, with 5 ensuite bedrooms, each with a balcony overlooking the valley, stables and the pond, and a small balcony in the front to enjoy a summer's afternoon read.
