Owner's Insight - We have loved living at Crosby House. It is generous and spacious in size with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. We love the period features, particularly the stained glass inner door, staircase and banisters and the wooden door frames. Additionally, visitors are always surprised by how deceptively large the interior of the property is. The views to the front and rear are gorgeous, whether it is the new born lambs to the back, or the swallows soaring around the eaves on a summers evening or even the occasional visit from a red squirrel. There is always something beautiful to observe from Crosby House.
