It has a large garden with plenty of trees for shade. It has been lovingly restored and maintained to a very high standard including a wonderful local housekeeper, Annie! The roof is a new slate roof in the exact original style. All the windows were replaced with hardwood double glazed units in the original style. No expense has been spared in the upkeep of this house. For the last three years the house has been rented out for in excess of £4,000 per week for the peek 8 weeks of summer.
