Old Dunnings is a characterful country house rich in period charm, with exposed beams, fireplaces set in approaching two acres, with swimming pool and far reaching rural views.
At the heart of the house there is an sitting room and dining both with their own distinct character and strong sense of the house's historical character. The family kitchen forms a welcoming everyday hub. In addition, there is a useful utility room and ancillary spaces.
A notable feature of ground floor is the double bedroom suite, ideal for multigenerational living, guests, or use as a principal bedroom alternative. This suite benefits from its own bathroom facilities and a peaceful outlook. There is also a sauna/shower room.

The house is set well within its plot, approached via lawned gardens and mature planting that enhance privacy and the sense of arrival.
