    The Mote has parts dating back to the 15th Century. The property is centrally situated within its own plot and is surrounded by gardens. The quiet, rural location also provides lovely hacking.

    Opposite the house is a stable block comprising three large stables with adjoining hay/feed store situated off a concrete yard. The stable block is enclosed via post and rail fencing and has access to a small paddock with mains water supply.

    A concrete trackway leads round to a timber stable block, offering four to five stables, incorporating a tack/feed store, and fenced pasture paddocks, currently split into two large paddocks. The paddocks have mains water supply.

    The acreage totals 10.11 acres in all.

    Adjacent to the property is a large, detached single-storey outbuilding which could be used as a workshop, games/hobby room or home office/studio. This room leads through to a large garage/workshop, which can also be accessed externally via the open barn/car port off the main driveway.

    The main house is a period farmhouse which was latterly extended at some point post 15th century, and subsequently added to again during the 20th century.

    The country-style kitchen has views over the garden and is fitted with a range of traditional oak cupboards, a Rangemaster range cooker with gas hob and a dishwasher. A utility room and boot room is accessed off the rear kitchen lobby.

    There are five bedrooms and two bathrooms in total. Features found throughout the property include exposed beams and timbers and inglenook fireplaces.
