Description

The main house, now divided into three magnificent homes, is surrounded by beautifully landscaped grounds. The property itself is triple aspect encircled by an extremely large and private garden extending to the rear and to the front.
The property is entered via an imposing panelled front door with fanlight and doorcase with spandrels of roses and shamrocks stone carvings. This leads to the entrance hall and in turn into the magnificent main reception hall via a leaded light inner door.

The reception hall leads to the study, drawing room and orangery, family room, kitchen and basement, cloakroom with shower and separate boot room. The drawing room features a beautifully restored wooden parquet floor, period fireplace and fine cornice and panelling details.
