Dating from Tudor times, Swan's Nest is a Grade II listed country house which has been extended and updated during the late 18th and early 20th centuries. Presented to a high standard throughout, the house now offers excellent family accommodation.
Two elegant principal reception rooms have working fireplaces and the sitting room has a gas fire, while a comfortable conservatory provides excellent views of the garden. A wine cellar sits below the well-fitted kitchen, which also benefits from a larder.
A fine old oak staircase leads upstairs where the central landing gives access to the five main bedrooms (three en-suite), together with the sixth bedroom which is currently used as a study.
