The Paddock is off a farm track on the fringe of the village. There are numerous bridleways through the surrounding countryside, which is predominantly arable and dairy farmland.

The stable yard is set on a concrete base with rubber matting as well as light and power supplies. There are three loose boxes, plus a lean-to store which is handy for storage.

There are two acres of land in total. The land is very gently sloping and is enclosed by post and rail fencing and hedging.

As well as gardens to the front and to the rear of the house, there is a patio that leads up to a raised swimming pool with timber decking and electric pump and filter.

The house is understood to be around 65 years old. It provides spacious accommodation across two floors and has five bedrooms.

The kitchen/breakfast room has a range of base- and eye-level units with laminated work surfaces and space for a range cooker. A door from the kitchen leads through to a sitting room, which has a range of fitted storage units at one end, and there is a separate utility room.

The living room has a wooden floor, glazed double doors to the garden and a fireplace with log-burner.
