Now available to the market is a rare opportunity to own a Victorian family home featuring a historic Principal House (over 100 years old), a stunning Victorian Walled Garden with a 50ft Glasshouse, and three additional walled gardens.

The Coach House offers generous living and entertaining spaces, with potential for further enhancement or modernization which would be a wonderful opportunity for someone looking to create their own home, This property certainly promises an exciting and rewarding venture for the next generation.

The Victorian proportions and high ceilings ensure light and airy living rooms, while there may be further potential to extend or add on to the property subject to the usual planning permissions.

Of particular note is the 25' drawing room with open fire and superb sitting room off from the kitchen, both with many windows allowing natural light to flood the rooms. The sitting room also boasts having it's very own wood burner making this an excellent area to entertain.

The kitchen itself is the hub of the house with a 4 oven Aga and plenty of room for sitting and relaxing. Off from the kitchen is a well spaced square dining room for more formal occasions.
