Over 3,000 sq. ft. of warm and welcoming accommodation provides an insight into the rich history of this period home, with a fine array of period features being showcased alongside the modernity and functionality of a home capable of supporting the ever changing needs of modern family life.

A formal dining room enjoys yet more character whilst the double aspect sitting room is awash with natural light via large sash windows, and makes for a brilliantly elegant and embracing space to unwind as a family next to the recently fitted wood-burner.
