House For Sale £700,000
18th Century Grade II listed house sitting on an approximately 5 acre plot complete with woodland, gardens, an orchard and a pool. The property is located in the popular village of Leighton, on the outskirts of Welshpool and 13 miles from Shrewsbury.

Further alterations in the 19th Century included the roof being raised and the installation of iron-framed and eventually sash windows.

His grandson Captain J.M.Naylor eventually sold the estate in 1931.
