Property description
PROPERTY AND LOCATION A truly individual character residence situated at the heart of Castle Donington.

Added to this there is spacious accommodation over three floors which offer further potential to create a most intriguing and striking family home. Externally there is an annex and beyond this a beautiful generous garden which needs to be seen to be fully appreciated.
