Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
With some parts believed to date back to the 12th century and a Grade II listing, it's not an exaggeration to say this home has some history behind it. We love the period features, such as the decorative stone fireplaces and wood panelling, and how they contrast with modern amenities like the sauna, karaoke machine and sleek kitchen. The bedrooms, although lacking some of the communal areas' charm, offer plenty of space – ideal for those who don't travel light. When you want to explore, you'll find the Ouse Valley Park directly behind the home, while the quaint village of Wolverton is at your doorstep.
