Mount Nessing, a detached Victorian villa built in 1872 and latterly a fourteen-bed hotel was purchased in 2018 by the current owners and has since undergone a thorough refurbishment. The property is now a four-bedroom house with a three-bedroom annexe with impressive eco-credentials improving the energy efficiency rating to achieve an impressive B rated EPC. All roofs were renewed and new electrics, plumbing and central heating installed as well as individually controllable tiled under floor heating throughout the ground floor accommodation.

The property is also suitable for the installation of an air source heat pump and solar panels subject to permissions to provide an even further energy efficient home. The current owners have sensitively modernised the property whilst retaining a wealth of charming original features throughout, including tall corniced and moulded ceilings, bay and sash windows and feature fireplaces, blended seamlessly with sleek,
contemporary finishes.
