Set over 4,500 sq. ft., Hawkmoor House is a stunning period home with historic charm and modern comforts.

Moving back into the main hallway which flows into a series of beautiful rooms: a welcoming reception area, a lounge, and a morning room—all with high sash windows and working fireplaces that create a warm ambience.
Down the hallway, the rear lobby leads to, what is currently used as a study/additional guest bedroom, however it could be perfectly suited for multi-generational living. This private space has its own shower room, separate entrance, and a lawned area that was once a tennis court.
