The main house totals over 4,637sq ft of wonderful accommodation full of period charm.

A pretty staircase rises to the first floor where there is the principal bedroom with en suite bathroom, five further bedrooms and two further bathrooms. A second staircase provides access from the dining room up into the landing also.

To the front and south elevation is a sun terrace and formal gardens which are perfectly placed to catch the sunlight, alongside further gardens to the westerly aspect.
