The current owners have lovingly maintained and enhanced this fine-looking country residence, which now enjoys extensive and sizeable luxurious accommodation throughout. The enhancements and renovation works have been carefully designed to encapsulate and incorporate the abundance of natural light to further brighten every corner of every room, as well as embracing the most fabulous panoramic and far-reaching breath-taking views that completely encircle the home from all sides.

There are two existing luxury ensuites, as well as a further luxury family bathroom / shower room, with the possibility of also incorporating another ensuite shower room to bedroom three, subject to planning, if required. All of the five bedrooms are double in size and are accessed from the full-length landing, from which there is ample opportunity to access the large lofts / roof voids with a further staircase, should a second-floor conversion be sought, subject to planning.
