Originally believed to date from circa 1750, and retaining much character, the property has subsequently been substantially extended to include three large reception rooms, and a fabulous kitchen breakfast room with integrated appliances and a glass roofed sitting area. The drawing room has four feature bay windows and a large open fireplace, and the dining room, and one time operations room during WW11 has space for the largest of dining tables measure 20' x 14'.
