Description An imposing and most attractive double fronted Grade II Listed detached family home, delightfully situated in the heart of this much sought after village, adjacent to the castle ruins and grounds.

An extremely characterful family home of generous proportions, which retains a wealth of charm and original period features. The property is believed to date back to 1690 and boasts an Inglenook fireplace amongst other period fireplaces, a wide easy rise staircase, an Oak panelled walk-in-wardrobe and numerous open beams and trusses. These delightful original features are cleverly combined with practical modern additions, such as the large dining kitchen with integrated appliances and granite work surfaces and en-suite facilities to two of the bedrooms.

When the property was re-roofed in recent years a cannon ball was found lodged in the roof, which is believed to have been fired by Oliver Cromwell's army whilst sieging the castle. The canon ball remains by the fireplace in the dining room.
