The property retains many character features and is situated in a delightful semi-rural spot, with salient features including exposed wall and ceiling timbers, feature fireplaces, leadlight windows, wooden panelling to some reception rooms, parquet and tiled flooring. Also of note are the impressive gardens and extensive range of outbuildings, together with ancillary accommodation, a swimming pool and the superb location.
