Original windows and door frames remain throughout and the 'ladies waiting room' or garden store room still has original wall panelling and window shutters.
Simra is in a quiet and private setting in a much sought after, rural location. This is an opportunity to purchase a rare and original property with spacious gardens that offers the potential for further development if required.
