Description?The Roserie is a handsome stone and brick-built family home, originally constructed in the Georgian era and extended in 1832. The quality of the finish is of a particularly high standard and the Georgian features are pleasing to the eye. Internally it could do with a bit of a face lift to bring it to modern day, while in keeping with its period beauty. It is an ideal property for someone who does not mind putting some work in to create their forever home.
