It has been subject to considerate renovations to modernise internally and extend the accomodation whilst respecting the lovely period features, creating a stylish and well-appointed home. Recent updates include the creation of an open plan kitchen/dining room with adjoining skylit orangery bathed in natural light and the conversion of the space above the garage into an office. The house has been improved and decorated to an excellent standard and is equipped with all the desired modern conveniences, such as underfloor heating in the kitchen/dining room, utility room, orangery and music room. The house is set within fabulous, well-established and maintained grounds with tennis court and orchard.
