The connection between inside and out is a particular highlight, with rooms opening onto terraces and gardens, encouraging a natural flow for entertaining and everyday living alike.

Upstairs, the bedrooms continue the home’s charm, offering a balance of character and practicality. The layout lends itself equally well to family living, guest accommodation, or additional workspace.

Outside, the gardens are a truly outstanding feature. Vast and beautifully established, they provide both open areas for recreation and more intimate, secluded spots for relaxation.

For those who love to entertain, the outdoor areas are perfectly suited to alfresco dining and social gatherings, with multiple terraces and thoughtfully designed spaces to enjoy throughout the seasons.

A further standout feature is the collection of outbuildings and workshops, which open up a wide range of possibilities. Ideal for hobbies, creative pursuits, or working from home, these spaces could be adapted to suit a variety of uses (subject to any necessary consents), adding another layer of versatility to the property.
