The Grade-II listed building dates back to the 16th century and has since been converted into a three-storey family home.

The seven-bedroom property includes a master suite with its own dressing room and en suite bathroom, an attic space for a children’s play room and live-in nanny, and a separate annexe for guests to stay overnight.
