The thoughtful refurbishment, which won awards for its sustainable design, includes cutting-edge systems, such as a water-sourced heat pump and underfloor heating.

This spacious, sociable area is perfect for hosting gatherings, while the separate office and cloakroom offer added convenience. With six double bedrooms, each with its own en suite bathroom, there’s plenty of room for family and guests.

There’s ample parking, including designated spaces for the cottages, and a versatile outbuilding ideal for use as a studio or workshop.
Locally, the area’s natural beauty extends beyond the property, offering a lifestyle enriched by outdoor pursuits. Fishing and wild swimming in the mill pond are cherished pastimes, while nature reserves and renowned birdwatching spots draw wildlife enthusiasts from near and far.
