The largest portion of the house is the oldest with pointers toward an early hall house.

Fine features include the impressive inglenook fireplace in the large sitting room and a wealth of fine old oak timbers including a King Post supporting the vaulted ceiling in the Master Bedroom. There is a small and charming southerly courtyard style garden and a garage. Only an internal inspection will convey the true character of this important period property. Possession might be available at an early date if required.
