Description
THE ACORNS

The internal plan incorporates four/five bedrooms and four exquisite bathrooms, three/four reception rooms, and arguably the signature feature of the sale an exceptional Dale Penny hand crafted Shaker design country kitchen with an Aga.
Internal inspection is highly recommended to appreciate the great expense and appreciable flair that have been invested to create what is an exquisite typically ‘Homes and Gardens’ period home in a highly regarded village.
