Delightfully restored and extended period house (1890) together with a guest cottage, indoor heated swimming pool, 6.5 acres of colourful grounds and lake frontage. Carried out over a 2-year period (1999/2000) the total restoration, with great care taken to preserve the period character, involved stripping the house back to the bare bones and virtually rebuilding, with concrete floors and ground and first floor, reroofing, wiring, plumbing and the installation of oil-fired central heating and double glazing throughout. Not satisfied with just undertaking the enormous restoration of the house, the owners added a further sitting room and impressive entertainment room as well as a spacious indoor swimming pool which is currently floored for a family wedding. All outbuildings were also restored, including the coach house, which is now a 2-bedroom guest cottage/mews, and the charming summer house, which with its terrace overlooks the grounds.
