In keeping with its origins this stone built residence has been sympathetically restored and cleverly blends contemporary living with traditional character. On the ground floor, the accommodation comprises of a vestibule porch, an impressive entrance hall which sets the scene for the bright and airy accommodation, large formal dining room, living room, butler's pantry, downstairs WC with cloakroom, snug, luxury bespoke kitchen with stairs to a fantastic home office, maid's pantry and utility room.
