The present owner has created a delightful family home, blending modern requirements with period features. The accommodation offers an extensive 5225 sq. ft. of living space, including a beautiful 19' drawing room, snug, study for those wishing to work from home, dining room and kitchen. Six bedrooms are located in the main house, served by three bathrooms. Further points of interest are the flagstone floors, one of which is tessellated, leaded light windows, window shutters & seats, exposed beams, stone fireplaces and exposed wooden floors. The conservatory has created a truly magnificent garden room which is in use all year round.

The one bedroom annexe is a great asset as an independent unit however by simply opening an inner door it becomes part of the main house.
