2 FULL DESCRIPTION AT A GLANCE Type: Detached Status: For Sale History & Vendors Comments Built for Sir George Drinkwater in the early nineteenth century, this is a magnificent example of late Georgian architecture, with its classic four-square plan of large central hall on all three floors, each with four spacious, symmetrical rooms two on either side. It has been a happy family home for thirty years and has played host, not only to elegant dinner and drinks parties but also to many enthusiastic games of hide and seek or Sardines. Both inside and out, there is a tranquillity to the house: the size and proportions of the rooms mean that it is always possible to find a place to sit in privacy perhaps at a bedroom window contemplating the sloping lawn whilst hearing the distant whistle of the steam train.
