This is my first post (be kind, please), and only my second serious exploration. Although there have been a few posts about this lovely house, I thought it worth showing my take, just to ease myself in gently.
I've only been able to find very minimal history on the place, in that it's aGrade II listed building, built around 1725, and features an octagonal lantern, now collapsed. It features in SAVE's Buildings at Risk register. Further digging showed that it has been on the market a couple of times in recent years, but due to flooding in the area, there have been no takers.
We [myself and a non-member] arrived mid-afternoon in fine weather and were greeted by a ginger cat. It was both sad and compelling walking through a family's history. Delivered everything I thought it would and more.
Excuse the fact that it's a little pic, heavy. I got a bit carried away in the hour and a half we were there!
