Property description

Trundle Mere is a handsome country home set in secluded, private grounds with far-reaching rural views and wonderful access to the local countryside.

Fitted to exacting standards the interior features bespoke hand-made solid oak doors, natural tiles and impressive fireplaces, whilst modern benefits include under-floor heating throughout the Kitchen and principal reception rooms, a stylish bespoke Kitchen and sleek contemporary bathrooms. Outside, the house is surrounded by attractive landscaped gardens which are sheltered by mature trees and hedging and include a small orchard and a productive vegetable garden.
