The property is a quintessential Grade II listed 16th-century country residence steeped in history, having once been the home of Sir Austen Chamberlain. It features timber-framed construction with red brick and tile-hung elevations, exuding character and charm with its weather-boarded rear elevation and a rich history that includes its use during the Tudor era. The house has been meticulously refurbished to blend period features, such as exposed beams, oak doors, and leaded light windows, with contemporary amenities, creating a harmonious living space that retains its original character. The main house comprises a welcoming entrance hall, a triple aspect drawing room with parquet flooring and a fireplace, a dining room with an inglenook fireplace, and a family room with its own fireplace.
