Current Owner’s Insight
“The master bedroom is our favourite — coved ceilings, original features and views that are simply breath-taking. The home has been lovingly improved with French drains, re-rendering with lime & horsehair, and roof restoration — all with the utmost respect for its heritage.”
“We love how peaceful it feels here. The chickens give us fresh eggs every morning, and we often dine on the terrace while birds and butterflies dance in the garden. It’s a slice of rural life in the heart of a connected village.”
