Owners Comment - "I recall falling in love with this property the minute I saw it, the history is fascinating, including a local story that has been passed down whereby during the reformation period, a local priest is rumoured to have hidden away in the loft space with a bowl and spoon, which I am the safe keeper of and these will remain with the house. The restoration of the house was undertaken prior to me moving here and what an amazing job has been done, so although it is Grade 1 listed, you can enjoy the quality and refinement of modern living"
