Privately positioned within a tree-lined cul-de-sac and embraced by approximately 3,329sqm of extraordinary established gardens, the property is a celebration of old-world charm, generous proportions and enduring elegance.
Beyond the garden gates, a towering deodar and majestic copper beech create an impressive entrance to a remarkable landscape of meandering pathways, stunning dry-stone walls, rolling lawns and an abundance of beautiful, established plantings.
