Swan House is a beautiful Grade II listed detached
property, originally constructed in 1815 as a Lodging House for Jonathan Shult, the then proprietor of the adjacent Swan Inn, and used as a residence for him and also for lodging very important guests.

Extensive additional living space is available on the second floor with a further three double bedrooms, two of which have en suite facilities, together with a family room and a galley kitchen. The second floor is perfect for use as guest accommodation, as a teenager's suite or alternatively as a large home office facility.

A detached double garage with a roller shutter door provides further parking. The beautiful gardens lie to three sides of the property, featuring sweeping lawns and a magnificent copper beech tree together with well established hedging to the boundaries.
