Property Description

Dating from 1790, this beautiful country house has been carefully renovated, maintaining the original character and soul of the building while creating a very comfortable home.  The garden covers 3/4 of an acre and there’s a large lawn, ideal for ball games and the sheltered pool area is a particular feature.
