The dwelling is believed to date back to the early 1600s and offers immense character and charm throughout having many exposed and revealed period features on show. Within more recent times the property has been the subject of a significant refurbishment programme having been upgraded and enhanced throughout to a particularly high specification and being presented in a most excellent decorative order. In essence the accommodation is in the regions of 3,500 sq ft with well proportioned rooms giving versatile living space.
