Originating from the Victorian era, the house has been
extended over time and more recently refurbished to exacting
standards resulting in a wonderful family home, blending
period features with modern comforts and high-quality fittings.
The house is presented to an
unusually high standard throughout

forming the focus from the principal
living rooms, where there is a southfacing

and many windows replaced, whilst a
quality kitchen and bathrooms were

addition to open-plan kitchen/living
room, there is a study, garden room,
