The estate has three period residences, all of which have been fully refurbished and restored.

It has Tudor origins, but Georgian additions too, so it’s one for those who like their home to have character.

Aside from the considerable heft of the house, there are lots of added extras to enjoy if you made this your dream home.

But let’s stop at the main house first.

At 700m2, it has three reception rooms, a library, sun room, study, pantry, kitchen, and en suite bedrooms as well as a kitchenette.
