Property Walk Through - Griggs Farmhouse is a splendid home providing both internal and external space that is both private and peaceful. The current owners have undertaken extensive renovations both inside and out to meet the requirements of modern living. When doing so their emphasis was on maintaining the integrity and character of the original buildings. This they have achieved. The Farmhouse exhibits solid oak wooden floors, bespoke "Heritage double glazed windows, contemporary bathrooms and a modern farmhouse kitchen with an "Aga" cooker at its heart. The accommodation is very flexible and caters for the needs of the modern or extended family, capable of incorporating an independent annexe suitable as a guest suite, home office or business facility.
The south facing garden is divided into a courtyard, and the original walled farmyard and stables now have a central lawn area with a terrace, border planting, footpath and patio areas.
