Meticulously restored and thoughtfully reimagined, this remarkable home combines period features with contemporary elegance, offering a refined yet inviting environment for modern family living. Arranged over two well-proportioned floors, the interiors have been designed with a vibrant, characterful twist, creating spaces that are both uplifting and comfortable.

Further enhancing the home is a versatile home office-come-studio, utility room, welcoming entrance hall and two modern bathrooms. The gardens are a true example of landscaping and cultivation, providing one of the most beautiful garden settings offered to the market.
