Property agent Duncan Petrie describes it as ’an absolutely beautiful Georgian home, that's impossible not to be charmed by’.
The exterior
Swanton Hall has been sensitively refurbished, to preserve the attractive baroque architecture. Landscaped gardens add a further grandeur to the exterior.
Celebrating the historic importance of the property a keystone remains above the front door, inscribed with the date 1719. It's believed the original foundations of the house may have even earlier mid 17th century origins, adding to its heritage.
The kitchen
The generous kitchen space, like many modern family homes, incorporates a dining area. Housed under an impressive structural arch, the kitchen features classic country cream units, fully integrated appliances and a highly desirable AGA cooker.
