It enjoys an idyllic rural setting with far reaching, uninterrupted views that are simply breathtaking. The current owners have created an amazing home with a welcoming atmosphere that is immediately apparent upon entering the front door. The property includes an elegant drawing room, a wonderful garden room and an outstanding summer house which is an ideal place for enjoying the outdoor life. This fabulous house combines historic charm and modern technology.”
