This beautiful detached character home offers a rare combination of period charm and modern family living. Originally built circa 1760 and thoughtfully extended over the years, the property has evolved into a spacious and versatile family home while retaining the warmth, character and history that make it truly special.

From the moment you step inside, there is an immediate sense of welcome. The entrance hallway leads through to a selection of well balanced reception rooms, perfectly suited to both everyday living and entertaining.
