The extensive gardens are a true highlight, offering lush lawns, mature trees, and vibrant daffodils bordered by traditional stone walls and outbuildings, all framed by panoramic countryside and mountain views. Multiple patio and outdoor seating areas invite al fresco dining and relaxation, while the proximity to a scenic lake and rolling green fields, as well as its 12 acres of planted woodland make this home a dream come true for nature lovers.
Additional features include a bright and functional utility room with skylights and generous storage, and classic architectural details throughout. There are three unconverted barns which offer a multitude of storage outbuildings, workshop space, wood stores and a substantial garage with mezzanine level.
