Every room tells its own story, offering unique features that give the property a sense of individuality rarely found today.

All bedrooms can accommodate a king-sized bed, with plenty of space for freestanding furniture, with large sash windows inviting light to fill the room. With two of the bedrooms featuring bay sash windows, a real retreat, reminiscent of the period charm.

Outside, the appeal continues. A private driveway provides parking for several vehicles, while the gardens have been designed to offer both practicality and beauty. With a combination of lawn, seating areas and carefully planned planting, this outdoor space can be enjoyed year-round.
