What the owner says

Over my thirty two year stay at the property there have been many a long summers day spent relaxing around the pool, entertaining friends and family in my lovely secluded garden. I feel very fortunate to have been a custodian of this wonderful home but the time has now come to downsize and allow a new family to enjoy everything the property has to offer.

Three excellent size living areas with large, well-proportioned dual aspect, bright rooms and complimented by a traditional kitchen/ breakfast room which boasts splendid views over the rear garden and neighbouring farmland. On the first floor the master bedroom is a particular feature, enjoying its own useful walk in wardrobe and generous en suite bathroom, with four remaining bright and spacious double bedrooms and a roomy family bathroom.
