THE PROPERTY

Park Green is an impressive detached country house, facing due south to the front and enjoying lovely views over open countryside. The original part of the house is believed to date back to the 1800s, or possibly earlier. It was significantly extended and remodelled in the 1960s and 1970s and has been in the same family ownership for over 50 years. Now in need of some general updating and modernisation, the sale offers an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a lovely country house in a beautiful setting, offering significant potential.
