“Architecture should speak of its time and place, but yearn for timelessness. ”
The architects of the 1700's certainly were inspired by quality, style, space
and light. Designing homes with family living in the forefront of their minds.
This stunning Five Bedroom detached residence showcases a perfect example of
this era with exceptionally well maintained accommodation positioned on the
outskirts of the village of Dilhorne.
