About this property
The owners have modernised and improved the infrastructure of this wonderful old house, whilst going to enormous lengths to preserve the traditional features and materials. The property is laid out over 4 floors, with triple sash windows to the front of the upper floors and an elegant first floor reception room together with a fully equipped kitchen which has also preserved the old range. The house is almost entirely wood panelled, and is presented in an elegant ‘distress faded’ style which is very charming and in keeping with age of the house.
The house benefits from a superb contemporary extension to the rear, very light and bright, currently used as a music room, from which external stairs access a delightful roof terrace.
