THE LOCATION

French doors lead out to a seating area within the walled garden, which enjoys a gorgeous view down the arched pergola.
There is also a shared cobbled patio area with seating and BBQ, as well as the large lawned front gardens (around 1 acre) with further seating and views over neighbouring farmland.
Local wildlife includes a large herd of deer that roam the walled gardens and neighbouring farmland, so take care when driving down the tree lined drive way.
All the wonderful original features do mean the surfaces are uneven, the walls are wonky and the stairs narrow, we have embraced the imperfect, and think it is perfectly imperfect and hope you will love and appreciate these truly original details as we do.
We hope to welcome you soon!
