Description
Coppice House Farmhouse is a beautiful Grade II listed stone house dating back to the 18th century. Prior to its conversion, the house had historically been utilised as part of the dairy enterprise that had once operated from the farm.
The current owners’ family, previously tenanted the property from the council before purchasing it in the 1920s and it has been in the family ever since.
Although the property is currently utilised as two dwellings, there is potential to convert into one, subject to any necessary planning approval.

Approaching the property from the east, you are greeted by well-kept gardens and an outdoor seating area that really take advantage of the far reaching views across the valley.
Following the flagged path to the front of the property, the central doorway with ashlar surrounds leads into a bright, kitchen diner featuring a range of oak base cabinetry, with a traditional Rayburn oven.

To the west is a comfortable living room with timber effect flooring and multi-fuel burner.
