Description

Lilliput House was originally built by The Rev. H G Watkins in 1891 and recently converted into the current property it is now in addition to the neighbouring properties either side and set within a private gated development. The property has timeless architectural style with luxury contemporary interiors whilst still retaining many of its character features.

The main entrance is accessed via double doors and an attractive entrance vestibule that leads through to an impressive grand reception hall with beautiful wood panelling and a feature fireplace.
