The current owner has continued to improve the property by creating a new private drive and a new surface with electric wooden gates. The exterior of the house was painted, and new Bosch boilers were installed for the main house, both in 2023. All the bathrooms have been given a makeover with CP Hart fittings. In addition, there have been various other improvements, both internally and externally. The property benefits from Gigaclear 800mb broadband.
