Description - Perrymans The Mounting Block presents elevations of painted render beneath a mainly thatched (last re-thatched 10 years ago) but partly slate roof. The original core is reputed to be of 17th century origin and the property, which is Grade II Listed, as being of architectural and historical importance, has been sympathetically & tastefully modernised to combine 21st century refinements with many original features. This is certainly a property that needs to be viewed internally to be fully appreciated. Special Note; The property is attached to Perrymans itself, a private residence, owned by the vendors of Perrymans The Mounting Block. They have run the latter until now, as a self contained holiday let, but the time has come for them to retire. The two properties share the same gated access, bordered by a babbling brook, but then each have private designated parking areas.
