Description - Trentham is a fine residence with the original property having been built in the 1930’s and having been subsequently extended over the intervening period.

Unusually for a village house in this location the property benefits from substantial grounds with the house itself standing within grounds of almost one acre in total and there is an adjoining, level and fenced paddock of approximately two and a half acres in total. The property is therefore ideal for those with equestrian interests and the amenity space provided is superb for family use. Additionally, there is a large, former poultry shed which, whilst in need of some repair, could provide the basis for a variety of different uses including home officing, leisure room or party barn.

The house and grounds have been well maintained over the years and the property benefits from double glazing.
