PRICE:  £379,950

Built in 1860 as a lodge to a Victorian magnate’s former mansion and occupying a lovely position on the edge of the Parish of Eastburn, the property enjoys uninterrupted views over open fields to both the front and the rear.  Subsequently extended and improved in 1986 when it effectively doubled in size, it now provides extremely versatile 4 Bedroomed accommodation of very considerable charm and character in which many of the original features have been carefully preserved and maintained.

The layout includes 2 Sitting Rooms, one on each level together with excellent sub floor cellar storage, whilst to the outside there are superb parking facilities, a double Garage and Workshop and numerous additional outbuildings.

The gardens are particularly worthy of note and enjoy tremendous privacy, being ideally suited to those who wish to entertain during the favourable summer months.
