Property description
This large 5 bedroom detached property has to be one of the most charming period residences, part of which is believed to date back to the 13th century when it was used by local monks as a fishery. Steeped in history and also having a grand Victorian extension to the front. It retains much of the charm and character from both these periods. Many features include the period angled arched windows, stone walls, marble fireplaces, flag stone and slate flooring plus a wide staircase winding up through the property. Although part of the property is adjacent to the main road, it is set within secluded grounds including a large lawn garden and terrace, well screened and with a high boundary historic wall.
Sitting across the courtyard from the main property is a stunning detached stone barn currently used as a two bedroom holiday let. This is a great opportunity for a change of lifestyle and to have a second income.
