period character and charm, retaining many period features, including dark

The house is well presented internally and is decorated in a classically
country style with a handful of modern additions including a contemporary
kitchen with underfloor heating, bi - fold doors and updated bath and shower
rooms. The home is presented in neutral décor which invites further
