Coming with 34 acres, this Georgian-style 19th century house by architect Richard Morrison has kept its original features, including ornate plasterwork and marble fireplaces.

On the ground floor is a sittingroom, diningroom, drawingroom, study, cloakroom, kitchen, breakfastroom, pantry, bathroom and bedroom. The five other bedrooms are on the first floor and there is also a large basement. BER exempt.

PLUS

A substantial country pile with period features intact.

MINUS

BER exempt, brrrrr. That’s 6,000 sq ft of space to heat.
