The house dates from 1643 and has been in the same ownership since 1921. The present generation acquired the property in 1985 and have since redesigned and modernised the interior, carefully retaining period features including dado rails, ceiling cornices, fireplaces, traditional staircases and exposed timber beams. The impressive interior has well proportioned light rooms with good ceiling heights. The interior has a warm and friendly atmosphere where the charm of the old house blends gently with contemporary living.
The large reception hall with a sitting area and fireplace is a most attractive entrance. The elegant drawing room has a central period fireplace. The wood panelled dining room with separate open plan music room is wood panelled with a large open fireplace in the dining room. The rear reception hall, conservatory, family room, sitting room and kitchen all have limestone floors and are linked by archways creating very light and comfortable open rooms. The conservatory opens to the garden. The family room has French doors to the garden and a wide arch gives access to the sitting room with fireplace fitted with a log burning stove. From the sitting room, a square arch opens to a recently installed excellent kitchen by Neptune and central island unit with breakfast bar.

Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
