A recent extensive refurbishment to an exacting specification has created a magnificent family home with flexible, spacious accommodation, along with an attached self contained two-bedroom annexe.

The principal bedroom has a large en-suite bathroom with a walk in shower and free standing bath, with a separate dressing room and walk in wardrobe. The landing space of the second floor provides a superb area which could be used as a quiet reading space/library/office, with a door giving access to the back garden, from which unrivalled views can again be fully appreciated.
