Descripton The Grove is an elegant residence with superb equestrian facilities which is believed to date from the Georgian era with earlier origins and a substantial two storey extension approximately 15 years ago. Unusually for a property of this age the house is not listed.

The house has been well maintained and lovingly looked after over the years. The property has a superb flow of living areas to the ground floor with ample reception space and there is a superb provision of bedrooms to the upper storey. There is much flexibility of use through out.

The property is well appointed with modern kitchen and bathroom suites, double glazing and oil fired central heating.

One of the principal features of The Grove is the superb grounds within which it stands with a total plot size of approximately 5.9 acres with sweeping lawns, manage, paddock, stables and a large agricultural barn making the house ideal for those with equestrian interests.

Furthermore, there is an outbuilding standing close to the principal residence which is currently used for storage with an attached gym but for which planning permission has recently been granted for the conversion to provide a one bedroomed self contained annex.
