The grounds are a true highlight of the home, with sweeping lawns, mature planting and a wonderful sense of privacy and seclusion overlooking farmland. In addition, the property benefits from a generous detached barn and a detached single garage offering exceptional potential for storage, hobbies, garaging or further adaptation subject to the necessary consents. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a truly captivating period home in an idyllic setting, offering timeless charm, extensive accommodation and exceptional outdoor space.
