This historic building is beautifully eye catching with its honey hued Northamptonshire iron stone, stone mullion surrounds and crittal windows. The property has undergone extensive renovations during the occupancy by the current owner, an Interior Designer and commissions such as bespoke cabinetry by Alexander Lewis, a Lacanche range cooker, custom finished Perrin and Rowe and Leefroy Brookes brassware, Castrad cast iron radiators, are just some of the quality fixtures and fittings to mention.
