examples of the famous Voysey style. This includes

doors and original forged ironmongery to the metal

in this much-loved home, enjoyed by the current owner

create a more contemporary home, whilst still retaining
the character of such a period property (all subject to the

THE FIRST FLOOR
THE GARDENS
The beautiful gardens are of particular note and surround this lovely
home. Traditional in style with a large sweeping lawn to the rear and a
variety of mature trees including fruit trees and shrubs. High mixed
hedging to each side affords privacy.
A paved terrace adjacent to the house is the ideal spot for entertaining
outdoors or simply enjoying the outside space. To the far end of the
garden, the reed bed is evidence of the original moat which historically
surrounded this and other properties.
The lawns continue to the front garden which has an abundance of
mature planting, including a delightful rose and wisteria around the front
door. Lavender to the borders completes this quintessential English
country garden.
Hedging and metal gates delineate the front boundary. A single attached
garage with traditional wooden barn style doors and workshop area can
be found at the end of the driveway.
