Once a distinguished guesthouse, the property extends to approximately 5,059 sq. ft across three floors, showcasing remarkable original features and timeless elegance.

The grand entrance, high ceilings, sash windows with shutters and intricate cornicing details evoke a sense of history and sophistication. The generously proportioned living and bedroom accommodation includes six spacious bedrooms, five of which are en-suite, and seven beautifully appointed bathrooms, providing ample space for family and guests.

Nestled on approximately 1.7 acres of stunning landscaped gardens, the estate offers a rare blend of tranquillity and convenience. A private entrance with imposing cast iron gates leads to a sweeping driveway, offering ample parking and a welcoming approach. Mature trees, lush planting, and carefully placed hedges enhance the sense of seclusion, creating a peaceful retreat. An enclosed courtyard, accessible from the dining room, is the perfect spot for entertaining, with charming stone brick walls adding to its character.
