On the other side of the house are four good-sized double bedrooms, two with ensuite bath / shower rooms, a principal bedroom with fitted wardrobes and storage and a well-appointed family bathroom.
Wheelbarrow Farm is a delightful family home but it also offers scope for extending and rearranging, subject to the usual planning consents.
A real feature of the property are the lovely gardens, grounds and paddock. There is off-street parking for several vehicles and two barns. The barns could provide scope for refurbishment into an additional property/Annexe perfect for multi-generational living, but subject to the necessary planning consents.
