Description:

A property that will appeal to those who adore character, believed to date back to the early 1600s. Though in need of some renovation/modernisation, this is a property with much living space and with antiquated charm aplenty. Great sized rooms, a stunning conservatory (with views over the huge pond), 6 large bedrooms, a vaulted billiard room and two large reception rooms, with many more rooms and features. During the Edwardian period the house provided a country home / shooting lodge for the grandson of the pre-raphaelite painter Holman Hunt (the large air-raid shelter in the garden bears an inscription by the grandson). The house is secluded by hedges and a massive number of mature trees including oak, cherry, laurel to name a few, along with an avenue of splendid chestnut. Externally good sized gardens include a double garage, a number of sheds, stable, and a small lake and fish pond.
