This unique home offers a wealth of character and features with high ceilings, deep skirtings and stripped pine reclaimed doors. Many rooms also offer exposed beams as well as internal brick and stone working giving each room its own individuality. The property has seen a considered an thoughtful program of renovation over the years having been significantly reconfigured, extended and tastefully completed with both traditional and contemporary elements to complement the original period dwelling. The property benefits from air source heating, three phase electricity and cat six cabling. The property boasts approximately 3,800 sq.ft. of internal accommodation plus a large detached garage with studio above as well as an excellent level of off road parking with electric gated driveway and established gardens.

The orangery links through into the kitchen which, again, has been tastefully renovated with a modern but heritage style range of units having granite preparation surfaces and central island and, with the adjacent orangery, is likely to become the heart of the home.
