The property has been much extended over the years and the current owner has renovated the property to an extremely high standard along with the addition of a quite stunning David Salisbury orangery.

Steps up from the reception hall open in to the orangery and the kitchen both of which have stunning Italian marble flooring with underfloor heating.
