Property Description

Built around 1800, the main house and outbuildings form a harmonious whole, surrounded by parkland with centenarian trees. The lofty and light accommodation has grand proportions, with high ceilings and triple windows in the main rooms. A walled and gated flower garden with ancient wisteria leads to the side entrance. With three large receptions plus guest suite on the ground floor and four bedrooms and family bathroom on the first floor, the property has been lived in as a permanent residence for 30 years.
