It’s simple layout and beautiful proportions give this home an unpretentious elegance, but the grandeur of this listed property cannot be ignored.

The blend of classic design and traditional warmth continues through into the inviting dining room with its exposed brick inglenook fireplace with stone hearth; you can just imagine the fabulous fireside dinner parties and revelry over the years.
