This very special period home is impossible not to fall in love with, from the spectacular location to its elegant Georgian exterior which dates back to the late 18th century. This is a rare opportunity to become the next custodian of a piece of history and restore it to its elegant past. The current owners have loved living here and hold the property in great affection, they now look forward to seeing the new owners take it forward into the future.
