Full description

OVERVIEW Detillens is steeped in history and has origins (we believe) dating back to circa 1450 around a framework of Wealden oak beams. There is Black Tudor and Jacobean wall panelling throughout plus several fabulous feature fireplaces with intricate decorative designs and firebacks.
