A charming and substantial period home in a highly sought-after rural setting, blending 18th-century character with modern-day comforts, extensive living space, and beautifully landscaped gardens with a pool.

The kitchen includes an Aga, Belfast sink, integrated double ovens, space for an American-style fridge freezer and dishwasher, and is complemented by a walk-in pantry.

A separate utility room and large wet room, accessed via a side hall from the kitchen, provide excellent practicality-ideal for families and outdoor living.

Upstairs, a galleried landing leads to four double bedrooms and two bathrooms. The principal bedroom enjoys views over the sun terrace, which is accessible from the landing and offers a peaceful space to enjoy the surroundings.
