Constructed in 1992 this exquisite home is an authentic reproduction of an original Georgian villa. Upon approaching the property up the sweeping gravel drive it is immediately apparent that a great deal of thought and attention to detail was put into every element of the property.

This impressive residence combines the look, feel and proportions of an original Georgian period residence with all the conveniences and comforts of a modern family home.

The symmetry, proportions, height, shape and size of the rooms is exactly what you would expect to find in an original Georgian residence, and this combined with meticulous attention to detail from the beautiful hand moulded cornicing to the mahogany doors is superb.

Of particular note is the impressive open plan kitchen / living / dining area, which was extended and renovated to a high standard of specification in 2020 with a handcrafted kitchen by master craftsmen Sexton & Sons.
