The Farmhouse...

The original farmhouse provides warm, character-filled accommodation with beautifully proportioned reception rooms, generous bedrooms and uninterrupted views across the surrounding countryside. Every room balances traditional charm with modern comfort, creating a home that feels both timeless and welcoming.

The Wellness Retreat...

At the heart of the estate lies an extraordinary wellness suite designed to rival many boutique spas.

Featuring an indoor swim spa, sauna, relaxation areas and treatment spaces, it creates a private sanctuary for everyday living while also providing an established commercial opportunity for those wishing to continue its successful operation.

Few private homes in the UK offer wellness facilities of this calibre.
