Description
Dating from 1850 Ruscoe House has been comprehensively and stylishly refurbished and extended by the current owners in the period since 2011.

The land and gardens offer wonderful lifestyle opportunities which have been embraced by the current owners who have had horses and developed a kitchen garden. The detached annexe is a significant asset and may offer potential for use as a home office, Airbnb lettings or for an elderly relative.
