With origins believed to date to the 17th century, the property has since evolved over the years, having been, more recently, sympathetically extended and improved by the current owners. Not listed, the property retains a wealth of period features. A porch with arched windows and front door opens to a central hall. The welcoming, triple aspect sitting room features an exposed beam, window seat, French doors to the garden and a fireplace with wood burning stove. The dining room connects to both the conservatory and kitchen. The dual aspect kitchen has bifold doors opening to southwest facing terraces.
