It is only the second time in 75 years that this important village house has come to the market, making this a rare opportunity to acquire a property of such historical interest.

Set in enchanting gardens of about one acre, the house provides almost 4,500 sq ft of accommodation with numerous additional outbuildings, including an indoor swimming pool, a large garage and beautiful green house.
