The original core of the house dates back to about 1890 and has been completely and utterly reconfigured to maximise the property’s orientation and setting, and incorporated within this exceptional design the property now offers adaptable living accommodation extending to around 5,200sq-ft.

The ground floor comprises a large attractive reception hall and cloakroom, a superb drawing room and sitting room opening to a garden room.
