The Old Staging House is a charming traditional property of tremendous character, dating from the mid 1700’s, in a popular village location with fantastic rural views, yet within easy reach of good road links and local shops etc. Well maintained and recently refurbished and modernised to particularly high standards throughout, it offers very spacious and particularly well laid out accommodation on two levels, beautifully presented with a good combination of original and modern features. The versatile layout is ideally suited for the changing needs of family life, and the property benefits from a single detached garage, ample off-road parking for several vehicles and a manageable enclosed garden.
