Approached via a forecourt and gated driveway, the sense of history and charm is immediately apparent.

A further double bedroom on this floor, currently used as a home office, also enjoys delightful garden views. A further staircase leads to an upper level, where there are two light filled additional double bedrooms overlooking the front and a family bathroom, completing the accommodation.

Externally, the property continues to impress. To the front is a courtyard and a wide, gated driveway, providing ample parking and access through to the rear.
